Education

My Formal Education is from the University of Minnesota School of Music where I earned a Bachelor of Music in Education, 1996.

My Performance experience includes many Ensembles at the University of Minnesota School of Music (Symphonic Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Orchestra, Jazz Trio, Marching Band, Pep Band and various Percussion Ensembles). I've also performed as a member of The Madison Scouts Drum & Bugle Corps, Valleyfair! Live Entertainment, and many Rock Bands, including Picasso's Thinking (Minneapolis winner of the 1998 VH1 Rock Across America Tour), and now Vertigo Joe.

I am available for recording projects and performances as a Drumset Artist. If you would like to book me for your recording project or a performance please contact me.
