About me

A hardworking, independent anchor across multiple genres, I bring over 10 years of professional experience to every stage, studio, and production I’m part of. I consistently showcase a lively energy and deep passion for collaboration with fellow artists, creatives, and industry professionals.

After relocating to Los Angeles from small-town Kentucky in 2014, I quickly immersed myself in a wide range of professional work, including national and international touring, live shows, studio sessions, and music videos. Beyond performing, I serve as both a music director and playback engineer; overseeing arrangements, coordinating live productions, implementing fail-safes, and ensuring a seamless show from rehearsal to stage. My versatility allows me to contribute as a drummer and as a creative and technical asset within any production environment.

My vigorous work ethic and determination to be among the greats show in the volume and quality of my live performances, covers, and the artists I support. In this era of musicians striving for greatness, I’m building a legacy, and making My name one you’ll remember.
