Biography:

I'm from Massachusetts. (born and raised), and in Jan of 2008 I moved out to Southern CA. In May of '08 I graduated from Berklee College of Music (Cum Laude). ...I went back to school after a bunch of years grinding it out in Boston as a working drummer. At Berklee I studied with Dave DiCenso, John Ramsay, Eguie Castrillo, Mike Mangini, Larry Finn, Ralph Peterson, Skip Hadden, and Kenwood Dennard. In Boston, I was a founding member of the Joshua Tree - Boston Tribute to U2, as well as the founding member of The Generators (2007), now Delta Generators, who went on to place in the top 10 in the International Blues Competition (IBC) in Memphis (2009).

In 2013, I graduated from Suffolk University's Sawyer Business School with an MBA mixed in marketing and entrepreneurial studies. I'm currently residing in San Diego, occasionally working as a freelance drummer throughout southern California, and I recently (Feb 2014) signed on for a second season at Sea World, drumming in their "Madagascar: Operation Vacation" production. I'm currently in the process of starting a company that builds tribute bands to music time-periods. For example, 70's soul/ R&B, along with a tribute to the Adult Contemporary / AM Gold genre of the mid 70s to mid 80s, a/k/a "yacht rock".
