I’m a professional on the skins and make my way through life and the world armed with some rather tasty, left-of-center, kick-ass drumming…that and a wee-bit of guts. That’s been my life, pro and passion, for some 25 years now.


Recently (as of early March 2012) wrapped up playing live drums for a 5-night-per-week London indie musical "Songs from the American Motel" at the Leicester Square Theatre with London-based American singer-songwriter Ezra Axelrod.


A professional since 1995, I’ve shared the stage with such diverse acts as Jah Wobble (bassist for Johnny Rotten’s PIL), The Creatures and Eddie Money.


Tours?

The US and Europe with acts as distinct and contrasting as Christian Death and After The Crash.


Cover gigs?

Cover gigs? 5-star hotel contracts in Macau and Shenzhen, China.


Studio?

Many CD and demo credits with different groups and artists and even TV/Radio jingles in Chicago and Boston for such clients as VW and Ford.


Festivals?

South by Southwest (Austin, TX, USA), Panama Jazz Fest (Panama City, Panama), Leipzig, (Germany) etc.


Even snuck in a couple live soundtrack performances to the silent film, Nosferatu (F.W. Murnau, 1922) while living in Boston…weird.


The Boston Crusaders Drum & Bugle Corps was a truly fundamental early performing experience.


So, though I’ll never claim perfection, versatility and sensitivity are guaranteed.


By the way, no problems with reading charts and using click-track.
