Born and raised in Roanoke, Virginia, I have been interested in music all my life and played piano for six years. It wasn't until January 2006 that I found myself seriously playing around with my dad's old Ludwig drum set; it has been my passion ever since. I played on and off with friends from high school, but nothing ever too big. After my first few months at Roanoke College I was asked to join Center Hill in early 2009, and the rest is history. I am influenced by most any kind music with a good groove, but more specifically Red Hot Chili Peppers, Spin Doctors, Sly and the Family Stone, and endless others.
