• One hour lessons are available in person or virtually. Let's figure out what your favorite drummer was thinking when they laid down that iconic part. I promise to be just as invested in your success as you are.​
   

• Hire me to assist your student with school-related performance goals in marching or orchestral ensembles.
  ​

• Hire me to write, record, or both. I can lay live drum tracks in my studio or yours using acoustic or sampled drums. I play Yamaha Recording Custom, Tama Starclassic, and Gretsch Catalina Maple drums with a wide cymbal selection, or a Roland TD-50KV2.

​

I've been a music educator for 13 years, and a performing musician for over 25 years.

I have had many mentors during my lifelong fascination with music.

I'm an alumnus of The Musicians Institute where I studied contemporary studio drumming, Indiana University where I studied classical percussion, and Portland State University where I studied jazz and composition.

In addition to performing with big bands and symphonic ensembles, I have founded, joined or sat-in with many working bands of a wide genre variety.

I perform live and in-studio regularly. I love and know many, many kinds of music with a particular affinity for all eras of rock.​

I currently reside in West Michigan.
