I am delighted to be a part of the rhythm section. After doing extended time with various rock and cover bands around NYC, I am very excited to have found a group of guys that enjoy rocking out as much as I do!

I was introduced to drumming at the age of 12 by a friend who owned a drum-kit; I started learning some basic rock grooves and from there it was all downhill - I was good and thoroughly hooked! For the next 6 years I studied rock music and played in a pop-rock high school cover band from 8th grade through to graduation. I have many great memories of playing gigs like birthday parties, school dances, and of course all 4 years of the high-school battle of the bands. This included extensive playing time with Mark Stolze, bassist for The Ruse. Around age 16, I first heard the playing of Carter Beauford, and he has become a key influence on my style. Through 4 years of college I played with 2 groups and even laid down studio tracks however college was more of a drumming hiatus. My passion for music kicked in again when I moved to New York in 2003. I have since played with 6 bands which ranged in genre from pop/rock-cover to bar-band to acid jazz/funk; our gigs took us to stages such as CBGBs, Prohibition, Session 73, Lion's Den, and the Continental (RIP). I look forward to working with Reza Khan on his upcoming project.
