Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, California. Influenced at an early age by the Beatles. Hearing them on the radio while riding in the car with my parents, I used to play drums with my hands on the back seat of their car. I joined the school band in second grade, playing the field snare drum. Was later introduced to Supertramp by a classmate and liked their music a lot especially with their Wurlitzer piano. In high school, I got my first taste of Black Sabbath, and from then on started playing a lot of heavy metal and still enjoy playing it to this day. Drummers who influenced me would be Bill Ward, Tommy Aldridge, Neil Peart, and Carmine Appice, to name a few. Looking forward to working with Stevie and the HeartRockers in 2024.
