About Me

I have more than 35 years of experience in drums and percussion, with a background that spans live performance, recording, instruction, and production. I began playing in elementary school symphonic band, performing on snare, bass drum, auxiliary percussion, and timpani before transitioning to full drum set performance in sixth grade. Throughout high school, I performed in marching band on snare drum while also gaining experience playing in bands beginning in ninth grade. From 2000 to 2003, I performed in a professionally managed cover band while attending college. In 2001, I transitioned my drumming style from the traditional cross-stick method to the Open Hand technique, leading with my left hand — an approach that became a defining aspect of my playing style. After college, I pursued work as a solo artist, collaborating with a producer in New York City between 2003 and 2007 to record an original solo album. Between 2007 and 2009, I also worked multiple times with a Grammy-nominated recording and sound engineer, further developing my studio and production experience. In addition to performing, I have been learning and refining my skills in sound recording, editing, video production, and mixing since 1995. I consider myself proficient in these areas, though not formally an engineer. Since 2023, I have been the drummer for Impolite Society.
