A glimpse into the life of a drummer trying to be a musician.

Welcome to my channel. I strive to suit your musical needs while attempting to grow as a performer. Although I do not aim to alienate any potential viewer, you won't find the latest Top 40 pop drum covers here. Instead, my videos tend to focus on nostalgia and good old-fashioned amazing music. Enjoy!

I am currently performing in Chicago and surrounding areas with the band Fifth World.
About Me:
 
- I'm a multi-instrumentalist (mostly a drummer) and composer with a modest channel. You could say that I'm reluctant in adapting to popular trends, but I am not above giving the 'new' its fair shot. Music is my passion and career, but my dream job would either be a video game tester in the late 80s.. or an author of fortune cookies...

- Graduated Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music (2009) with a bachelor's of music in the degree of Professional Music [I know, that's a lot of "musics"].

While there, I studied with Larry Finn, Terri Lyne Carrington, Mike Mangini, and Rod Morgenstein.
