Biography: 

Sometime around the late 70's I began playing drums while hanging around various bands my dad played with, I would play when they would take breaks. My high school band director named Roger Hayes was probably the single greatest influence on my musical career, he was just an awe-inspiring musician. After high school, I helped form a band called Crystal Rain, we played mostly classic rock. I left after a few years and that group eventually evolved into a band called Monkey Finger. I have played every type of music from gospel, country, blues, and even heavy metal, that wasn't my thing. In 2002, my friend Billy asked if I wanted to sit in with his band called Classic Waxx........stay tuned.

 

Favorite Group:

I would have to say early RUSH with Neil Peart on drums. The late Jeff Porcaro from Toto was also a great inspiration, he could set a groove like nobody else.  

Favorite song the band does:

Of course, I do like to play Wipeout, my favorite is probably Devil With a Blue Dress. 

When not playing with the band, or working, what do you like to do the best:

Staying home with my wife & 2 girls is what keeps me relaxed, I guess you could say my kids are my hobby. We ride bikes in the park a lot and play basketball. I also enjoy watching any type of auto racing. Just a good quiet time at home is where it's at for me.
