QR Code Link to This Post
I am a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy Reserve and returned from a second 14 month “combat” deployment in late 2024. Soon after, packed up my family and moved from WI to CO in 2025 to have access to activities and medical services for our disabled son, and to get him out of the brutal WI winters. I’m a little rusty, but finally getting settled and looking to get back out and make some music. I tend to hit ‘em hard and drive from the back, but understand dynamics and know when to lay back.
Experience includes performing in clubs, casinos, fairs and major music festivals (Summerfest, Country Jam, Country Fest, Rock Fest, etc.), arenas and auditoriums, as well as, weddings, private parties and corporate events. Accustomed to working with a click track when needed for sequencing (if you want a click just because, we gonna fight). Also familiar with the studio recording process, and working with agents, national acts & production.
I was also the house drummer for a weekly open-jam for several years, so able seamlessly follow just about anybody un-rehearsed, and typically able to fill-in on short notice. Also experienced with lead and back-up vocals, rhythm guitar, piano and bass. Experience also includes front-of house, monitor, recording and lighting engineering.
