Shows, Studio & Support.
Helping shows happen and tracking in the studio for over 20 years. Drums, guitar, and bass are my usuals, but always stoked to fill in with whatever needs to be covered. Being a gear-head, I love the amps and drum kits just as much as playing. So I’ve often found myself in a support role as drum/guitar/backline tech. Let’s talk about how I can help your shows or records.
Drums
I started playing drums in middle school when I got my first drum kit. It was a steady diet of Evil Empire from Rage and Deftones’ Adrenaline. I’ve been playing professionally for over 20 years in various situations across genres from punk and hard rock to jazz to 70s classic country and southern rock. With studio, tour, and television performance experience, I feel good jumping into most opportunities.
Guitar
From crisp and tight palm mutes to walls of sonic fuzzy goodness, big distorted guitars are my thing. Also being a drummer makes me very rhythmic player. This comes in handy to bridge the gap between focussed parts with the drums and bass, while also move into more open chords and parts to let the song breath when it needs.
Tech
I’m a weirdo gear head who has a knack for helping get consistently good tones while keeping the office tidy. Being a musician myself gives me insight into the needs and potential scenarios while playing, as well as what really goes into making it all happen. From drums to guitar and bass, a flawless show with quick changeovers is what I’m going for.
Merch
Selling merch is more than just slinging tees. Merchandising, accounting, point of sale system, keeping cool with customers are all aspects of a successful merch table. With the experience of running vendor tents at festivals and trade shows paired with my web design and IT background, I can keep things running well.

Markteting
Releases and tours have a small window to keep the excited rolling. Maintaining regular promotional marketing is key to maintaining things. I can help with efforts on shows, merch sales, and general content to help fill the gaps.

I started playing drums in middle school when I got my first drum kit. It was a steady diet of Evil Empire from Rage and Deftones’ Adrenaline. The blend of heavy and groove oriented rhythms had me hooked. Since then I’ve gotten the chance to play in a ton of punk, rock and pop oriented projects in various capacities. With both studio and live experience with many other musicians, it’s not hard for me to find the vibe of the people I’m playing with.
