I moved to Austin in December '08 and recently bought a home to start my adult music career. I grew up playing music but got hooked on the drums at age 14. After 3 years of playing and no formal training I was accepted to the Southern Oregon U. School of Music. In college I Studied music theory, ear training and the percussive arts (orchestral, contemporary, world) with internationally renowned musicians and professors. Iam currently playing in Soul Track Mind, learning what it takes on the business and music side to make my passion a successful career. Of course I am seeking and working on other projects as well. I focus on proper technique to play as efficiently as possible. Students learn faster, avoid long term injuries and see results after the first lesson. I adjust my teaching techniques to best suit the student. Learn the correct way from the start. Formal Education: BS Music-Business Southern Ore.
