Currently,  I play with The Road Hogs, a band that I find absoloutely

fabulous, and so much fun to play with.  Check us out by clicking

I began playing drums at age 9....I'm 44 now, and have really

had fun studying drums these past 35 years. My main teacher was a 

fellow by the name of Art Flower. I studied with him for about 7years.

He was well known around the bay area for his versatility in 

jazz, and modern music, and also for participating with the San Francisco symphony. 

I owe Art alot for not only teaching me, but also for

teaching me to teach myself. Something that I hope to pass on to

my own students.

Currently, I teach about 15 students, ranging in ages from 10, to 45.
Also I'm working for an independant label in Santa Barbara, CA (Cypher Arts)
that is producing some maginificent progressive rock music. I am lucky to
be part of the projects that are presently being worked on. There is
a sample of a tune did last year on my "sound sample" page. The final
of this tune, and many other fine pieces are set to come out sometime
early in 2007. This was recorded prior to all the new gear
I just acquired, so my drum sound is not as magnificent as it is now....However,
there are some great performances on that tune.
