About

About me?  Loaded question.  I'm a dad, husband, Grammy-nominated drummer, martial artist, coach, aspiring blogger, humorist,  author, teacher and this website is going to reflect all that... maybe.
 
In a past lifetime (it seems so long ago) I toured with a whole bunch of bands and made over 100 recordings, most notably with an artist known as Matisyahu.  With that, I developed a few relationships with the companies I love.  I endorse Sabian Cymbals, Vic Firth Drumsticks, DW Drums, Evans Drumheads, Audix Mics, Humes and Berg cases, and Prologix Pads.

 

I graduated with a Bachelor of Music from Mason Gross School of Music, and with over 25 years of experience  playing drums, I wrote two books, "Science of Time" and "Improvisations for Syncopation."  Feel free to send me a message if you are interested in lessons, mentoring, coaching, and musical collaborations, or just to connect.  

 

I enlisted in the United States Navy in 2010 and currently, I'm a Musician First Class Petty Officer.  I did a brief stint at one of the premier bands (US Naval Academy) when they had a rock band, Electric Brigade.
