About me

Music AND FOOD!

“Music chose me; I didn’t choose music…” I didn’t understand this concept at age 7, but I get it at 55. I’ve spent many years LISTENING to everything, taking drum lessons, learning parts, going to live concerts, attending clinics, playing in Rock bands, cover bands, Jazz bands, weddings, and recording originals. I love learning and teaching. The quest to create music and express my drumming will continue for a lifetime…

You are what you eat. I am a Pizza, Chicken Parmigiana, a BAGEL aficionado, coffee addict, burger fanatic, seafood lover, an ethnic explorer, a taco fanatic, and so much more…Will my arteries eventually forgive me? Perhaps. Food is meant to be savored and enjoyed with loved ones… Let’s get together and cook up a storm! Then, we can add some tasteful music and have the best time in 2024.

Do you want to study drum set with me? Do you need a sub drummer to fill in for a gig?
