I am available for both in-studio and live work, and would love to hang out and make some music with you. Hit me up with some of the details on your project and let's get going!

I am a diligent session musician who does his homework. I will show up knowing your songs and am capable improviser, so I am also highly adaptable should there be any changes.

I started playing the drums in 2006 and it has been my passion ever since. After taking lessons from leading musicians for the better part of a decade, I spent four years playing in various jazz combos and honours big bands, and attending jazz intensives with some of the industry's best. The past years have found me bridging into other genres, especially indie rock, in the form of a session drummer. I am frequently booked for live shows, studio work, and for tours, and love playing a variety of different genres with a variety of different musicians.
