I am going to list some things about me and all I ask is that no one gags. My musical journey began in the small city of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada. With a vast number of influences (Freddy Pelletier, Rod Janzen, Brian Sklar, etc.) I had all the oppurtunity to learn at an early age from the best. Skipping ahead to my schooling I attended Red Deer College for the music performance program (2 yrs) and from this I headed out into the real world to just play music. From all of this I have cultivated a career than spans well over a decade and has afforded me the great pleasure of playing with some of the best Canada has to offer. I am now the full time drummer with Adam Gregory as well I freelance and remain a popular fella in the Alberta studio scene.
I am now based in Nashville and I am planning on moving my family down as soon as I can. I am loving the music scene here in Nashville and I really feel at home here. You can find examples of my playing on several my space pages for example – Duane Steele, Amber Schneider, Tracy Millar, Gord Bamford, Deon Blyan, Harry Wojak, etc. The playing I have downloaded is a few of the sessions I have played on. I am available to do drum tracks for demo’s or albums please feel free to contact me if you would like to track anything via the internet. I would also love to thanks Scott Atkins for his tireless efforts to keep me in the best drums wherever I am. Thanks Scott and thanks Coast Music and thanks to SONOR DRUMS. I am always very proud to play the drums they are truly a work of art.
