I was Born May 20th, 1967, in Washington, DC. At age 5, I started tak-ing drum lessons at the Music and Arts center in Rockville, MD, moved to Gaithersburg, MD at age 11 and continued lessons at Victor Litz Music until age 17. At 15 I was playing out in clubs such as “The Bayou” in Washington DC.

My biggest influences growing up and still are Neil Peart, Bill Bruford, Dennis Chambers, Alan White, Billy Cobham, Simon Phillips, Danny Gottlieb, Steve Smith, John Bonham, Rod Morgenstein, Steve Gadd, Joel Rosenblatt and many, many, many more.

I have played with performers such as Hoootie and the Blowfish, Mark Bryan, Daryl Davis, Ron Holloway, Johnny Artis, Danielle Howle, Patty Reese, Charles Wright, Pat Dinizio and many more.

I am currently playing with The Freddie Long Band. My other projects include a band I started at the beginning of the year called DIS-FUNK-SHUN, and Unprovoked Moose Attack, which I have been with for the last 10 years. That’s my story and I’m stickin to it.
