ABOUT

I first started playing music when I was 12 years old. I played many weddings, dances, and different bars throughout my teenage years. When I graduated from high school I moved to Edmonton to attend Grant MacEwan to study bass in the music program.

Since then I've toured Canada coast to coast dozens of times, several stints in the US, and some 15 countries in Europe. I've also been recorded on over 50 different albums. I've played in all kinds of bands, from Rock to Country, Metal to Folk. If it's good it's good, doesn't matter the genre.

Right now I'm looking to join, or do fill in work for a cover band, something to help pay the bills. I would like that band to be something I can do for many years to come. I am proficient at drums, bass, and guitar. I also enjoy singing harmony. Really I would like to join an existing operation, but I am willing to put the time in to something new if the right musicians are involved.

I've always said the hardest part about being in a band is finding the right people to be in the band with. I feel that I can be a serious asset to any band, because over the years I've come to know what it takes to make a project go, and the signs that show a project falling apart.

I like to communicate and keep things on the table, so if your band has drama or ego, don't bother knockin.

Currently I play drums in an all original band called Black Mastiff, and occasionally do fill in work with Shout Out Out Out Out, and Michael Bernard Fitzgerald.

Please feel free to call on me with any questions or requests that you may have.

EQUIPMENT

I have a large collection of modern and vintage gear. This is my trade and my instruments are my tools. I have the gear you need to play bass, drums, or guitar in any situation. Too much to list.
