I am a drummer living in Nashville, Tennessee, currently working with Country artist Aaron Tippin and am available for touring/session work. I love playing all different types of music with all different types of people. Music and people are my two favorite things, and I'm excited to be in a city where I can experience plenty of both.

I spent the last five years living in Denton, Texas, where I attended the University of North Texas and studied drum set with Ed Soph. I also performed in some of the best college ensembles in the country.

Prior to moving to Nashville, I was the touring/session drummer for Texas country artist GARY KYLE, as well as pop/jazz/funk/fusion group, THE SPIKE BAND. I toured all over the region and the country with these groups and recorded five albums.

I have also performed as a freelance musician on many sessions, as well as live situations in styles ranging from Country to Jazz, R&B, Pop, Funk, Rock, and anything else that has come my way.
