That's when I started performing in the drum section of my high school concert band. By 1989, I was the co-section leader of the drum section. Also during this time (1987-1990), I was playing in my own Rock group. In 1990, during my freshman year at Loyola University of New Orleans, I was honored to be a part of the percussion section of their orchestra. From 1994 -1996, I began playing with several bands, and furthered my drum education by taking private lessons at Miami Dade Community College in 1997. Since 1997, I've gigged extensively in the South Florida area in a variety of different genres. From Reggae, Rock, Funk, Hard Rock, Blues, Irish Rock, and Metal. In addition, I've performed with various artists in Maine -- where I lived from 2005-2010. I'm currently in a couple of local South Florida bands, and continue to explore other musical possibilities.
