ABOUT

Started drum lessons at the academy of music in London when I was five.
Achieved my grade level 12 when I was ten. After tha my father drove me Sarnia twice a week, for lessons from Paul DeLong ( Kim Michelle). At twelve my school music teacher took a shine to me and that year we won the Kawanis music festival. Great mentors. In grade nine I failed music. That summer I additioned for Canada’s wonderland. By the time I was sixteen, I was playing 16.
20 minute shows a day.
At 18 I spent two years at PIT, a school in the states and graduated first in my class.
I am now 45 and find myself in a better place.
I would love to find some great players.
I don’t want drama.
Or false egos.
Let’s just play and be mates.
Play from are soul.
I will let my feet and sticks.
Speak for themselves.
