Hello, and welcome!
I am a drummer/percussionist/vocalist/voiceover artist. I live in New Hope, Pennsylvania and I have a studio in the New Hope/Buckingham area, where I teach drums and percussion. I teach beginners and advanced students, from any age group. Until my relocation to New Hope in May of 2013, I had been living in Chicago, Illinois.
In the 1980’s and 90’s, I was part of the vibrant, creative and very busy Chicago recording community, playing on several recording sessions every week, making records and literally thousands of TV and radio commercials. Chicago was producing much of the commercial advertising music in the U.S. then and I had the good fortune to be right in the middle of all that creative adventure at a young age. I had the rare opportunity to play with, and learn from, some of the best musicians, producers and writers in the world on a daily basis, creating music in just about every conceivable style and genre.
In 1999, I joined the Brian Wilson Band, with whom I toured the world extensively and recorded several albums. In addition to playing with Brian Wilson, I’ve had the pleasure recording and/or touring with violinist Jerry Goodman, blues/folk legends David Bromberg and Richie Havens, and the Godfather of Spoken Word, Ken Nordine.
Among the many highlights for me was winning a Grammy Award in 2005, for the Brian Wilson Album, “Smile”.
I am supported by and endorse Tama Drums, Bucks County Drums, Brady snare Drums, Sabian Cymbals, Protection Racket Cases, and Vic Firth sticks and mallets.
