I have been a professional drummer for a number of years. My first extensive touring event was with The Back Doors where I performed at numerous venues throughout the United States and Canada.
More recently, my current band has been focusing on the Mid-Atlantic Area (Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Delaware, Washington, D.C. and New Jersey); both headlining in the local establishments and opening for National Acts, including but not limited to Sammy Hagar at the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain in Moosic, Pennsylvania.
In addition to my live experience, I have enjoyed the opportunities provided by being the studio percussionist on projects of various genres of music.
One of the highlights of the current year was the release of a Nextel/Digicel television commercial entitled “Party in your Phone” which featured my current band performing our original song “I’m Sorry”.
