I had a great childhood. My parents are loving. I started playing drums when I was 8 years old. I've always had excellent teachers and I've always enjoyed music. I have a Bachelors of Music degree from West Virginia University and a Master's degree from Manhattan School of Music. I take lessons on instruments on which I need guidance.
I like to run, rollerblade, cycle, and eat. I'm a good cook. I enjoy working on and learning new music. The more challenging, the better.
I've been a New York City based freelancer since 1978.
