A Little About Me:

Music has been a life long drive of mine. Over many years I have fine tuned my craft and have developed many great skills as a drummer and musician. Over the years I've spent countless hours studying specific rudiments and techniques.

Starting at the age of 5, I was introduced to music very young as this ran in the family. By age 12 I already had experience playing trumpet, piano, learning my scales and key signatures. At age 14, I moved on to drums and took in on full time. Playing in the school bands I knew this was a passion, and then when I discovered bands like Rush, Queensrÿche, Dream Theater and Fates Warning I was hooked.

After a few years of jamming with friends in local bands, I eventually joined the progressive metal band Empyria at age 19. All those years of practicing were about to pay off. Empyria was a progressive metal project geared toward the styles of Rush, Dream Theater and other prog bands. Once that ran its course after 11 years, getting signed to a major label in Europe, 5 international releases, plus several EPs, I pursued other projects and styles, including a couple of Rush Tribute projects as well. Now spending time as a session drummer and instructor, drumming still remains a high priority in my life. Thanks for reading and please check out the videos on my YouTube channel.
