About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
As a musician of 26 years, (drums primarily) I’ve had some great opportunities to travel the U.S. and abroad touring and recording for different artists. The highlights of my career would have to be time spent in Grammatrain and Gideon’s Press, more recently called The Illustrated Band. I have also worked as a drum tech for Terry Bozzio, the highlight of that ride being the BMW tour: Terry Bozzio, Marco Minnemann, and Chad Wackerman. I currently have about half the songs written for my solo record, and I’m also planning on recording a "drum solo music" record. I recently started playing drums for Monte Montgomery, a nationally acclaimed guitar player, who also happens to be a great singer/songwriter. I’ll list those dates along with anything else I’m doing here on myspace. My gear and endorsements will be listed soon. As far as my personal life goes, I’ve been married to a wonderful girl for 15 years, and we recently had a little girl which we named Ocean Willow. I also have a 17-year-old daughter who lives in Seattle named Brittnee Jo. I love her to death and regret that there is so much distance between us. God, family and music are everything to me, I’d say that pretty much sums me up.
