Thanks for stopping by!
I have performed on drums and percussion primarily around Chicagoland since the early 1990's with many different bands in a variety of musical genres. I have a long history in Chicago playing many memorable gigs which I am grateful for having had the opportunity to do. I enjoy playing drums and percussion in Blues, Surf Rock, Country, R&B, Classic Rock, Tropical Rock and also with Excercise Instructors and DJ's too!
