About Me
My talents include:
- Composing (er, Kompozing!)
- Drums, Electric
- Editing
- Guitar, Rhythm
- MIDI
- Mixing
- Percussion
I am a self taught drummer and have been playing for about 30 years. For about 10 of those years I was a semi-pro and did a lot of touring through the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Europe. I also owned and engineered at a small recording studio. A few years ago I decided to start learning how to play guitar so that I could be a more effective song writer. I currently have a small project studio in my house where I colloborate with friends. I have come to realize that the part I like most about music, is making music with my friends.
