Husband/Musician/Drummer...blessed to make a living playing drums....studio and live.
I was born and raised in Webster Groves, a suburb of St. Louis, MO. I began playing drums at the age of 10. In 1991, I moved Texas to study at the University of North Texas. I currently reside in McKinney, TX with my wife and 3 dogs.
I have had the privilege of performing/recording/touring with great artists like Jacob Petersen, Curtis Salgado, Mike Morgan and the Crawl, George Anderson, Pat Boyack, Red Young, Hope Cassity, Quinten Hope, and Prestonwood Baptist Church to name a few.
I try to play the right part for the song and support the musicians around me. I have been fortunate enough to have toured throughout the US and Canada, and have played in Europe several times.
I am based out of the Dallas/Ft.Worth area where I maintain an active free-lance schedule as both a performer and educator. Currently I can be found performing with Eleven Hundred Springs, and The Signature Band....Contact me if you need assistance laying the foundation your recording project.
