Born on Long Island, New York, I was surrounded surrounded my music some way or another growing up. Drumming was in my blood, my father was a drummer and sort of passed the torch on to me. My father taught me what he knew and I started becoming enthused with his teaching and in turn helped me technically and musically. I started becoming addicted to various bands and music that appealed to me and slowly falling into complete devotion to drums at the age of thirteen or so. Growing up Neil Peart was my biggest inspiration and slowly evolving into drummers such as Dave Weckl and Todd Sucherman. So focused on drumming, it became a complete part of my life in aspirations of becoming exceptional at my craft. While falling into this complete world where drumming was the only thing that seemed to matter, besides family friends and general life priorities, drumming was me. I took lessons start at age twelve and loved so much of what the players I looked up to were doing, I started paying less attention of what my private instructor would give me for homework. So much attention focused into what I wanted to do versus what I was told to play, but balanced I hope. Laster on performing with multiple bands and performing with a few renown artists/bands. As time went on, I decided to participate at Berklee College of Music where I would progress in my studies as a musician, drummer and person. Performing frequently and doing many sessions recording drum.
