Graduated from UNT with a music degree and have a long history of teaching percussion in the DFW area public schools, including working at Colleyville Heritage HS, Marcus HS, The Colony HS, and Lebanon Trail HS. I’ve always enjoyed balancing my teaching and performing careers. I was fortunate to be the drummer for many DFW area bands during my time there, including Reverend Horton Heat, Brave Combo, and Eleven Hundred Springs. I’m based in Nashville now and have been working with several different bands/ artists, including American Idol- Finalist Josh Gracin and most recently, JD McPherson, who I spent two months on tour with this year opening for the legendary artists Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. A highlight in 2022 for me was spending a week as the house band guest drummer on NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers”!
