Tacoma-based drummer with 25+ years of experience, starting at age 3. Active in the Washington music scene since 2008, I bring veteran reliability and high energy to every stage. I specialize in fast, technical, and rhythmic genres including Punk, Pop-Punk, Ska, Reggae, Folk-Punk, and Blues.
Whether you need a tight "one-drop" reggae pocket, the aggressive speed of punk, or the upbeat precision of ska (complete with cowbell), I deliver. I pride myself on being punctual, professional, and a quick learner who can lock in with any band or session project. Ready to travel across Pierce/King County to help your sound stand out. Let’s get to work!
