I was born in Joliet Illinois. I entered the world of music in 2nd grade playing accordian and moved onto keyboards in 8th grade. I have played in all genres of music over the years including an all original progressive rock band, classic rock, a semi-pro touring country band, and now with Six to One. I just wanted to thank my wife and rest of my family for supporting me in my passion for music.

Seriously though, who is that? Well, it's me. I have played drums for tens of years...so, many, years... and it's a great thing! What other creative outlet has a person hitting objects with a stick and making music? But, does that give what the kids call "street cred"? No, no it doesn't. Playing music with others is what makes it all come together. (Who even cares about street cred anyway-amirite?) So, to sum up and in conclusion; I really love the drumming and the music. These guys make it easy too. All kinds of musical backgrounds make this band a true variety. Come by sometime and see what I mean. Have some fun, dance a bit, and have a great night. Maybe that's our "cred". -Steve
