My journey as a drummer began in 2008 when my family got the video game Rock Band. As soon as my dad opened the box, I was immediately drawn to the drums and after a year of shedding the game, I could play Tom Sawyer on the expert level. At that point, my mom decided it was time to buy a real drum set. 

​

After many years of learning songs, and working on different styles / techniques with my incredible drum teacher Paul Barrie, I went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Drum Set Performance from Berklee College of Music. While I was there, I joined my band Groundlift, and was fortunate enough to study with some of the greatest teachers on the planet. Some of which include: Henrique de Almeida, Dave DiCenso, and Jackie Santos.

​

I have a lot of experience performing live and in the studio with Groundlift as well as other artists. In the summer of 2023, I joined Eagles of Death Metal as their touring drummer. In addition to EODM and Groundlift, I also play with Gary Hoey, Paul Bielatowicz, and The Video Game Orchestra.

​

I have been playing drums for most of my life, and after studying with so many amazing teachers, and playing with so many incredible musicians, I feel that I have valuable insight into the music industry, and I am ready to pass on my knowledge to many more!
