karma.....Playin' music and chillin' with my blind dog "Roady"...and our bearded dragon "TROGDOR"...and 2 baby sand boas... yet to be named....
other than that, anything beach related, violence in moderation, bringing the rock, and politics...from a slight distance... I am focusing on living a better life, free of ignorance and egos, and enjoying my surroundings... rather than tolerating them.

About me: Let's see here... I have been a drummer since I can remember... spent most of my youth in a band called Chaotix, even played at CBGB's...I have jammed with many, many cool people in my day... Since I was a kid, I have tried to pick up any form of percussion I could find..I have performed with some bad ass DJ's... I've played Starscape 3 years in a row now...I have performed live with Q Burns Abstract Message, Ed Ridgley, Adam T Rush, Tracey Cooper, DJ Kosta, Donnie Burlin, Chris Bulla, Derek Fenwick and the infamous DJ Sun... I was a resident percussionist at Mosaic while I was the bar manager and mostly played for Lovegrove and Adam Auburn.......... I have DJed several spots around town and was a resident at Angel's Rock Bar for a while... Even DJed with Marky Ramone, which kicked ass!!!
As of late, I am back on my drum set...in my heart...I am a punk/ metal drummer... My kit is my outlet....and I am always interested in meeting talented musicians...
I recently moved back to NC to get my shit together.
Now Djing at City Limits Saloon in Raleigh..Thurs.. Fri..and Sat
