ABOUT

Update, June 2024: I've recently joined a band, and we'll be debuting our sound in August. Stay tuned!

I play in a "Dad's jam band" (1-2 times/month) and some blues jams in NH and Maine. Looking to join/launch something more regular. I practice at least 2-3 times per week, usually in the morning (on an electric drum-set w/headphones in the basement, so I disturb nobody). I've also played percussion in symphonies and orchestra pits (tympani, cymbals, xylo, etc.), and have played piano/keyboards since before I started drumming.
