About me: I recently finished my masters degree at Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, NY where I was awarded an assistantship for the duration of my studies. I'm a drummer. I have had many great teachers including John W. McNeill (Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra), Ben Parris (Maskaraid Productions, LLC & NEMeSIS Records), Dave Mancini (Maynard Ferguson, Chuck Mangione, Rosemary Clooney), Dr. Eric Schmitz (SUNY Oswego, Russell Scarbrough Big Band), & Mike Melito (Chris Potter, James Moody, Chuck Mangione). I've freelanced throughout New York State and Germany for the past seven years. During that time I have had the privilege to perform with such notable artists as Dr. Lonnie Smith, Jeff Tyzik, Paradigm Shift, Alvin Parris III, Clay Jenkins, Gray Mayfield, Terrance Bruce, and Bill Tiberio. Currently I am performing exclusively with two groups, The Jazz Mad Lab & Paradigm Shift. In addition to an extensive performance career, I have taught drumset and percussion privately in Rochester, NY for the past 6 years.
Who I'd like to meet: Any interesting person (esp. drummers) I try to always be polite, but please be original. Those are the people I enjoy talking to and will give priority with my time. I would love to meet: Steve Gadd (met him), Jack Dejohnette (met him), Brian Blade, Billy Kilson, Bill Stewart, William Kennedy, Herlin Riley, Wynton Marsalis, Sting, John Mayer, Carter Beauford, Hillary Clinton (met her)....
