  150 shows last year in the US and Abroad. Whether its funk/ jazz oriented as in the recently award winning release “Look out” by Dean Grech, or the rock/pop feel of Jennifer Campbell’s “ A Natural Narcotic”, or the more traditional jazz classic style in Sherri Weisman’s “ Simply Sherri”, he covers it all. Recording extensively with Reggie Ashley and Grammy Award winning engineer/producer Francis Buckley (Quincy Jones Juke Joint) at Rocket Ride recordings, he has become not only an in demand live performance drummer but a formidable studio artist as well. Behind the kit for over 30 years he has played with some great entertainers and bands from Henry Mancini to Third Force to Eric Marienthal at some of the top venues in the world. His passion for the instrument as well as the music shines through every time. Playing corporate events around the world with some amazing entertainers like, Koko Powell / Edgar Winter, Jim Wheeler /Slash, Mitch Manker/ Third Force, Hootie and the Blowfish, Rick Cowling/Ambrosia, Mathew Johnson/Great White, Steve Nieves/ Kenny Loggins, from Disney to Dubai, he has laid the foundation and groove for all these artists to do what they do best, play amazing music.
