Influences
My influences are many. I have followed the careers of many drummers including Dave Weckl (Even though he can be a real ass sometimes), Eddie Bayers, Rikki Rocket (showmanship), Tommy Lee to now, my friends, Rick Brothers (Gretchen Wilson), Scotty Hawkins (Darryl Worley), Trey Grey (Brooks and Dunn), and many other players making their marks on the industry.
br>Last, but not least by any means, is my wife Roxy. You are my Angel Rox! She is what keeps me kickin. She helps me remember why I started this whole music thing anyway... because I love the music. I love you Rox

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I started playing drums long before I even knew how to spell DRUMS. After my parents got tired of me dragging pots and pans out from under the sink and banging dents in them with whatever I could find, the finally bought me my first drum kit from Montgomery Wards.
I performed my first live appearance when I was about 13 years old with my Dad's 50's rock band, "Yesterday". I worked on several projects and recording sessions with him all the way through school until I graduated and wondered off into the sunset to chase my dreams. In addition to that, I performed in my Jr. Hi and High School bands, playing just about everything in the percussion lineup until I settled on the quads. (I still love em!) On my off time I played with several high school bands with most of my influence from legendary groups like Journey, Boston, Motley Crue, and so on. As my musical interests grew, I learned to appreciate other types of music. I began to play with jazz and big band projects, theater and musical ensembles, and eventually I ventured into the Country market where I found my home.
I have performed and recorded with such great Texas Country Music acts such as the Mel Garrett Band, Joe Kory and Renegade, Tim Nichols and Common Cents, Bill Hart and the Cardiac Cowboys, Stephen Brown, Sheila Marshall, Andy Childs, Derringer, BadLandz and Blackwater. I still do several dates with Sheila Marshall as well as dates with Andy Childs, former RCA artist and member of the Warner Brothers group SixWire. I have been able to share the stage with such great acts as Diamond Rio, Mark Wills, Mark Chesnutt, Doug Stone, Tracy Lawrence, Chris Ledoux, Daryl Worley, Blake Shelton, Perfect Stranger, Merle Haggard, Ty Herndon, Lonestar, Ricochet, Larry Gatlin, Dan Seals, Eric Heathery, Kenny Chesney, Randy Travis, Trisha Yearwood, Gary Stewart, Neal McCoy, Tanya Tucker, Sammy Kershaw, Alabama... and more.
