I have been playing professionally for over 20 years. I started playing drums when I was 9. Went through the whole formal training thing and then chucked it to play how I wanted. I am not Neil Pert. I am not Travis Barker. I am me. My timing is solid and my style really is all my own.

By profession, I am a network system administrator for a major Internet Service Provider in St. Louis. I am married (happily) and have two great daughters. No, I will not quit my job on some chance to "make it big". I have a bunch of hungry little drums to feed.

I do not do drugs, I am not an alchoholic, have my own reliable transportation and I hate to be late. I come to practice prepared, know the material and never miss a show. I've been told that, with an attitude like that, I have no right to call myself a musician.
