I started playing the drums in the summer of third grade about nineteen years ago. After playing in high school bands and drum corps my family moved to Missouri in the summer of 1989. While attending trade school in Rolla I joined a band out of Vienna were I met Dave Odom and later Tim Parker. After five years of playing country Odie lost his voice and I decided to return to college. Two years later Odie called and wanted to know if I was interested in filling in for a band he was in with Parker, Bradley, Wally and Darrel, I agreed. Three years later here we are Against the Grain , 101 proof classic rock n roll. Not only have I had the privilege of playing rock with these guys but I got to add four more people to my family.

With influence from Buddy Rich to Neil Peart to Ozzy Osbourne I have found a home and look forward to years of great times and good music. If my hearing holds out! (Odie turn down your damn amp). Thanks to all of you who have come to listen and support us this Rocks for U!!!!!!!
