MORE ABOUT ME AND WHAT I DO

Starting out as a percussionist in elementary school, it was inevitable that I would gravitate to the drumkit. My father, an avid music lover, always had drums in the home. I would spend hours and hours playing the kit from elementary school all the way to high school. It was at this time where I would join my first band and play my first live show. 

Ever since that first performance in 2010, I've craved more. As my musical tastes widened and varied, so did my yearning to learn and play more instruments. I moved from drums to bass, then bass to guitar, all the while working on my singing technique. This led to the writing of my own material and, eventually, becoming a frontman.

My goal is to perform music in any way, shape, or form. Whether you're a venue in need of a solo performer to fill a few hours, a band in need of a fill-in musician for a gig(s), or an artist that needs an experienced musician to record, I'm your guy.

 

Below is a list of my achievements:

- 130+ total live performances to date (and counting)

- Currently in 3 bands (bands and instruments played listed below)

- Wrote and recorded 1 album and 1 EP to date for solo material (with more on the way)

- Wrote and recorded 2 albums and 1 EP to date with original band Pathmaker

- Recorded drums as a guest musician for 1 EP and a few tracks yet to be released

Here's a little rundown of each band that I'm currently a part of:
