About me: I'm a 30 year old musician in the Detroit area, and I love music that doesn't suck (which means its probably not on the radio). I am a huge Red Wings fan and I also like baseball a lot too, especially now since the Tigers are fun to watch again. I've been married to my wife Amy since December of 2003, and I have baby daughter named Alison (May 10, 2009).
I was the drummer in Bedford Drive between 1998 and 2003. The band was named after the street I used to live on. I was the drummer on all the records up until "The In-Between EP," which is a great record by the way.
I've been playing drums since I was 12 and guitar since I graduated high school. For the past couple years I've building up gear for my songwriting/basement recording studio and I am working on writing and recording material as an indie music production company with some good friends of mine under the name "Warm Chord Music."
I am also drumming with a cover band called "The DR5" to make some extra money and have fun performing a lot of different types of music. Go to our page to see when we're playing and hear the demos I recorded out of my home studio!
Who I'd like to meet: Steve Yzerman, Dave Grohl, Chad Smith, Dave Mustaine (this time I want a photo!), Billy Joel, Anna Faris, Steve Albini, James Hetfield, and James Spader.
