I was born in California and raised on rock. At a very early age, I dreamed of being a Rock Star. As I grew older, I had
to settle on just being the best drummer I could be. I have been playing drums for over 30 years. I took lessons from
the rock legends in a way, having seen many of the greatest drummers in the world live on stage.
From 2004 to 2009, I played with Local Stranger. We produced one CD and played at most of the top music clubs in
Kansas City, including The Beaumont and Harrah's Voodoo Lounge. Currently I am playing with The Rock N Roll
Carnival, as well as at my church. Keep an eye on the Schedule for upcoming shows.
Thunder Inc was an idea I created back in 1997. It is my hope and prayer that this project will come to life sometime
in 2010-2011. With a new band of pro musicians, I look forward to creating some new original music. I also created
and maintain the Thunder Inc website.
