I'm a professional percussionist with over 10 years of performance experience. I'm skilled in drumset, rudimental drumming, steel pan, and orchestral performance. I received my bachelors in percussion performance from Western Carolina University, and I'm currently finishing up my master's degree in percussion performance at Northern Illinois University. Additionally, I have had a myriad of performance experience ranging from performing at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention, to performing with the Madison Scouts Drum and Bugle Corps. With a dedication to quality and excellence, I like to put an emphasis on professionalism and preparation.

Generally, I my only technical requirements are setup space, and advance instrument requests. I'd like to know what I need to bring before I bring it.
I've been influenced a lot by rock music, from artists like Foo Fighters, Rush, Dream Theater, and lots of younger artists like Haken and Mammoth. On the orchestral side of things, I am constantly gaining inspiration from my teachers and the musicians I perform with daily.
