About Me

I have been doing music since the age of 5.Growing up in Vancouver,Canada, I spent my childhood playing violin in an orchestra,as well as getting piano and classical guitar lessons.......As a teenager I traded all that in to start playing the drums......In 1987 I took a recording engineering course in Vancouver and after touring extensively throughout Western Canada playing drums in club cover bands, I moved to Los Angeles in 1990 to start a career in Music .......I spent the 90's playing drums in a few different bands that had record deals,made some records,and did several tours of North America and Europe..... All the while I was engineering and producing on my bands records,I was working in a recording studio as well,doing the same for many other bands.....I've also engineered/and or mixed many records for producer Jim Wirt.......I have since stopped playing music professionally ,but continue to live, breathe and work on other people's music......I've been fortunate to work with many,many talented bands and artists ,and continue to do so.....Along the way I have been lucky enough to have found a fantastic ,devoted wife,and we have a beautiful daughter.......We are now residents of Austin,TX......I am represented by Sandy Roberton at Worlds End Producer Management....Go to www.worldsend.com for a complete discography......Thank you for listening.......
