Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was exposed to many different styles of music, but Rock and Roll has always been at the forefront. That passion led me to the drums, and I've been playing ever since.
My influences come from a wide range of artists, including KISS, Rush, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Yes
Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was exposed to many different styles of music, but Rock and Roll has always been at the forefront. That passion led me to the drums, and I've been playing ever since.
My influences come from a wide range of artists, including KISS, Rush, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Yes, Judas Priest, Peter Gabriel, Seal, Elton John, Kate Bush, Alice Cooper, and Pink Floyd. I also find inspiration in classical composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Vivaldi, whose creativity and musical vision continue to influence musicians centuries later.
I believe great music has no boundaries. Drawing from a variety of genres and influences has helped shape my approach as a drummer, engineer, and producer. Through it all, the drums remain my greatest passion and the foundation of my lifelong journey in music.

Every song has its own personality, and my creative process begins by listening to what the music is asking for. My drumming is shaped by life experiences, emotions, and the inspiration I draw from each song. I enjoy exploring different styles, sounds, microphones, and gear to find the right approach for every project.

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to perform in a wide variety of venues, from intimate clubs to large concert halls.
Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to perform and record with many talented artists, including Simmonz, Tom Keifer, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, The Reverend Horton Heat, Black Oak Arkansas, Petra, The Legendary Shack Shakers, The Prog Rock Orchestra, and Accept to name a few. Each experience has contributed to my growth as a musician and reinforced my love for creating music both on stage and in the studio.
Here are some tracks I've played on. Check it out.
Here's another one Mike sent me a few weeks ago. I tried some different mic placement in the room, let me know what you think.
Here's one with Mike and I doing what we love. Drums recorded and mixed at my new space in Voss, Norway.
This is the first one Mike and I did from different continents! Nashville TN, USA to Voss, Norway.
This is a video audition for The Neal Morse Band several years ago. I was a ton of work and a lot of fun to do. Mistakes and all! What a great song! Enjoy.
