At around age 10 I felt the call of the drum from deep inside my soul, and from that moment on I was hooked for life. I was influenced by my uncle Bob Weir, who is a drummer. I started playing drums and taught myself drumming by playing to my favorite records and tapes of alternative music of the 1990s, with Jimmy Chamberlin from the Smashing Pumpkins being one of my biggest influences. Steven Perkins, Manu Katché, and Stewart Cobland's groves are fused to my soul. Jazz drummers like Joe Jones, Art Blakey, Buddy Rich, and Gene Krupa are legends. Lisa Blackman, Steve Smith, and Vinnie Colaiuta are current favorites. 

Over the past 30 years, I have performed with many talented musicians in a variety of bands with styles ranging across the musical spectrum.
