I began playing drums at the age of 4, basically influenced by my uncle, who played jazz bass and guitar. I grew playing gospel, R&B, jazz and marching band style drumming. I didn't get into rock music until I met Travis barker in early 1999. He influenced me to play... rock!! I had no idea rock music could be so fun until that point. But I’ve learned a lot since then about rock music and drumming in general. Below is a a list of Bands I have played in: Hand to hand, downthesun, 40 below summer as a fill in, Here I come Falling, The Bryan Watson Band, Dieverge, The Hurt Process, Aszelle.

My influences: Thomas Lang, Buddy rich, Dennis chambers, Justin Folley of Killswitch Engage, Abe Cunningham of the Deftones, Will Hunt of Dark New Day, Dave Weckl, JoJo Mayer, John Wysocki of Staind.
