About Me

I've enjoyed, loved and performed music for most of my life. It is a big passion that will never go away.I witnessed the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show when very young and after seeing Ringo Starr perform I was instantly taken by the music bug! I was eagar and determind to play the drums and involved myself in any and every music program in school and any opportunity outside of that. My first gigs were at bars when I was a tender 13 years old. From there I played at high school dances and Keggers! Once high school ended I jumped in the local music scene and have not put down my drumsticks since. The 80's consisted of hard rock/metal "hair" bands. From there I again indulged myself into every style I could possibly do. Ranging from Rock,Jazz,Funk,R&B,Country,Salsa-Latino to many studio and side gigs as well. In the present I'm playing with some very seasoned local musicians and longtime friends called the "Junkyard Dogs". We currently perform locally in the Portland Oregon area. *******************See Suncityrecords.com for some unreleased material for sale "Dirty Rhythm" 1992........................................................ .......................NEWS FLASH*******THE JUNKYARD DOGS ARE BACK AT Duffy's Hanger in Salem JUNE 13-14 FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, SEE YOU THERE!

Words of Wisdom
