A Little about my Approach:
Leading with Gratitude
My parents instilled in me from a very young age that going out into the professional world with something to prove, or overly comparing yourself to others would lead to nothing but failure. Music is at its highest quality when we are leading with love and gratitude and that is how I choose to live my life. I know the daily grind it takes to become a professional in this field, and I consider myself blessed to be able to do what I do for a living.
Becoming the "Total Percussionist"
Being a Percussionist requires you to be a jack of all trades. Percussion is the foundation for virtually every genre of music known to man. Growing up with a professional orchestral musician as a father, I was surrounded by classical music and was fortunate enough to start classical percussion lessons at age 9, with drumset at 10. Combining my classical experience and drumset experience with a deep background in rudimental percussion creates a style of expression that is one of a kind. I strive to improve myself everyday and am committed to becoming the most complete percussionist/musician I can be.
