Drummer / Music Director
​
Born and raised in San Pedro, CA and still living there today I’ve been performing music of many styles including rock, jazz, world and orchestral music for 24 years. I started playing at the age of twelve and began my formal studying at the age of eighteen. After high school I went to Harbor College where I was introduced to Jeanette Kangas the Director of Percussion at the music school. There I studied Jazz, Big Band and Percussion Music. She really focused on attaining many of my musical goals like reading multiple drum styles, music theory, technique, and sight-reading.
From there I transferred to Cal Arts where I studied Orchestral and World Music with John Bergamo, David Johnson, Randy Gloss and Kobla Ladzepko. Studying at this institution helped me define myself as a musician. While attending Cal Arts I studied with the late Dan Morris on drum set. He was instrumental in pushing me to develop my vision of what I wanted out of myself as a performer and a musician.
