Throughout my career, I have played over 400 live shows.  Many of the shows were at Chicago 's premier venues such as The Riviera Theater, The Double Door, Hard Rock Cafe, Elbo Room, US Beer Company, and The Beat Kitchen. 

I started seriously playing drums at the age of 20. My first band started immediately after getting my set. It was a crappy band that went nowhere but showed me my love for drums. I kept playing on my own until I met Spinshine. From 1997 to 2002, I was the manager, booking agent, and drummer for the band; building it from scratch. While I was in Spinshine, I took time off and went to drum school in 1999 at the Musician's Institute in Hollywood , California .

School again showed me how much I loved the drums, and gave me ideas on how to build my career. I came back and played with Spinshine until September 2002.

I played with Redshirt at a showcase in Green Bay , Wisconsin in June of 2002. We played with Filter and Sevendust. The show served as a showcase for labels interested in that band.

In 2003, I joined Boogotta Fix. We played around Chicago , at many good venues including the Double Door and US Beer.

I joined the band Highway Down in June 2005, and recorded a full length album with them in October of 2005. It will be out soon. See the Highway Down page and News page for more info.
