I began the obsession of drums about 40 years ago. I have had many success’s, and many a rough day at it.
I played on my first professional studio recording when I was 14. (My mom had to get me out of school to go to the session)
I got a full paid scholarship to college for drumming at 17, and then dropped out to go play in bands (Ha Ha maybe not a great decision)

(More History)
I was recruited into a band out of Pittsburgh PA called “7th House” on Atlantic Records. We lived in NYC and for a few years traveled the country with a growing hit song on radio (Gypsy Queen). Playing gigs like Warped Tour, and X-fest in front of 10,000's of people.
I used to play some percussion at a bar at the top of the world trade centers, along with a dance music DJ. And then that gig abruptly ended on sept 11th 2001 (Maybe You heard about it). I was there the Friday before and supposed to go back the Friday after - CRAZY
I then moved back to LA and went on tour with Bruce Willis (the movie star) and his band “The Accelerators” where I played in the band and was in charge of all the gear. Traveled all over the world with Bruce including a USO tour of the Middle East to entertain the troops in 2003 - CRAZY
I was in a band out of Washington DC called “The Pocket” that had a record deal and a song on radio in Jamaica (Lila Rose). So off to Jamaica I went.
I moved back to Louisiana after 20 years of craziness , and played with the local legend, Louisiana Hall of Fame artist “Chris Leblanc”. I got married had a baby girl and built a really nice home recording studio in the back of the property to pursue writing / recording commercial jingles, and record whatever I want - Like Your drum parts!
I have been with the following artist in some musical fashion -
Bruce Willis , Panic at the Disco/ The Academy Is, Ivan neville, Steve Vai,
Chris Brown / T-Pain, Shelia E,
