I'm a performer and educator based in mid-Michigan. I grew up on rock n' roll but was bitten by the jazz bug in my teens. I've been honored to share the stage with many great musicians including Fareed Haque, Rodney Whitaker, Tony Monaco, Randy Napoleon, Bill Heid, Jim Alfredson/organissimo, Michael Dease, and blues rocker Smokin Joe Kubek.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I'm continually inspired by my teacher, Randy Gelispie, who's in his 80's but still swinging like a madman. I also love to watch the next generation of players coming into their own. The future of our music is in good hands.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Listen louder than you play.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    My hi hat combo of 15" Kerope top over 15" K Custom Special Dry top, 20" Renaissance Ride, and 23" K Custom Special Dry Ride.
