After a short stint with the piano, I started drumming in the 4th grade, and played in Concert, Marching, and Jazz bands while in school. I have been providing percussion and vocals for local and touring bands from N.H. to FL. over the past 25 years. Bar / club / wedding / carnival / corporate / yacht club / NCO club / hay wagon / Bean Soups / whatever event, I've played it. Influences - The Police / Gene Krupa / Chicago / Hee Haw / Ralph Emery / Alabama / Duran Duran / Steve Gadd / Liberty DeVito / The Cars / Louie Bellson / Danny Seraphine / Buddy Rich / Greg Kline / Dick Hake / Peter Erskine / Harry Stinson; really, anything I've ever seen or listened to, although I generally try not to let the bad stuff have too much of a lasting impact ! I am a graduate of Central York High School, York, PA., and attended Florida Institute of Technology / Fl. Tech., in Melbourne, FL. Some of the bands I've played with over the years - Central High School Jazz Lab, Shylo, Dave Winter Band, Bob Clay Quartet, Cres Ottemiller band, Classified, Triple Play, Michael and The New Reign, Rich and Famous, Cream and Sugar, Indian River Players Pit Band, Liberty Road Show, The Roadsters, Backstreet, BT and The Cruisers, Chris Troki band, Johnny Porazzo Road Show, Who's Your Daddy, Last Call, Lincoln Highway, Gray Wolf...
