Alfredo

About me:

.. When I started this page I was just going to have my musician info here, but seems that it has turned into an "everything" place and talk to people that are part of my life in one way or another, so, a bit about the rest of me ...
I was born in the US (Ames, Iowa) but was raised in Panama city, Panama
- I love my wife, daughter and dog
- Running, Biking and Resistance training are my poison of choice.
- I'm a civilian contractor and I feel the military guys on the "ops floor" are my second family, I used to be in the military and if I work with you, you probably know me as "Bee" or "Bernie".
I studied drums at Drummers Collective in NYC with Brian Doherty (They Might be Giants, B-52's), Pete Zeldman (Steve Vai) and Michael Lauren (Chuck Berry) as my teachers.
