I've been playing drums my whole life. In high school I played with the orchestras, jazz bands, marching bands, and every rock/punk/grunge band I could get my hands on. In college I played with university jazz ensembles, a few rock bands, and then toured with the jam-band Healthy Doses from 1999 to 2000.

Since 2002 I've played primarily with The Crash Motive (formerly Omnisoul), which gave me the opportunity to tour the country, work with world-class producers and engineers (Phil Nicolo, Ritchie Rubini, Gregg Wattenberg, Don Gilmore, Greg Gordon, Nick DiDia) and experience the ins and outs of the music industry first-hand.

The Crash Motive released their debut album "Consequence" with Wind-up Records on October 09, 2007. "Consequence" includes tracks Waiting (Save Your Life) (Fantastic 4 Movie/Soundtrack, Joan of Arcadia) and Not Giving Up (Madden NFL 07, Sports Arenas, NBC TV placements).
