The short story: I am a drummer currently living in Minneapolis, MN. I’ve played for a growing list of fantastic musicians and I’m totally in love with drums and drumming.

A few highlights from the movie of my life—losing an undeclared drinking battle with T-Model Ford; recording Johnny Hickman’s solo record while freeze-framing the Big Lebowski for inspiration; getting soccer lessons from John Doe; swinging for the fences with guitarist Teddy Morgan; playing the gig that resulted in the Hacienda Brothers; tracking songs and drinking wine with Cathy Rivers, Kelly Pardekooper, Carl Broemel, Jon Coleman…you get the picture.
