About Me

Quasi-drummer, pseudo-engineer, amateur cinematographer, reluctant technician, & part time renaissance man.
I enjoy stuff.
I am interested in things.
I like puttering and mucking about.
Sometimes I play drums with Daniel Powter. Sometimes I make music for film & tv.
Sometimes I do other things... Check out some of the music that I've been part of:
