BIOGRAPHY
Self taught, with over 25 years of recording and touring experience. I pride myself on having a superior work ethic towards the skill of my craft, while remaining humble and being respectful of all levels of playing I encounter. The opportunity to play live and record allows me to meet different types of musicians and bands and not only play and discuss music; but to share experiences and educate about the products we use and the innovative happenings throughout the industry.
I've toured all over the US and Puerto Rico and shared the stage with Grim Reaper, Nuclear Assault, Powerman 5000, In This Moment, Tantric, Flaw, Suffocation, Mushroomhead, Otep, Sworn Enemy, Silent Civilian, The Acacia Strain, Goatwhore, Vital Remains, Mortician, Malignancy, The Empire Shall Fall (feat. Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage), Burn Halo, The Letter Black, Winds of Plague, Skinlab, Scum of The Earth, Psyopus, Diecast, My Life With The Thrill Kill Cult, Helstar, Impaler, Eve To Adam, Full Blown Chaos, Maximum Penalty, Harley's War, SubZero, Billy Club Sandwich, Locked In A Vacancy, Trapped Under Ice, Walls of Jericho, Carnifex, Emmure and many others.
I've been in many bands over the years and I've also had the opportunity to record, rehearse and play live with some very well known musicians during various projects and auditions including: Len Carparelli, a.k.a. "Len Leonard" (Guitarist - The Beatles Faux Sale, Ex - Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Joe "King" Carrasco & the Crowns), Chris Poland (Ex- Lead Guitarist of Megadeth), the late Ralph Santolla (Lead Guitarist - Devil's Highway, Ex- Death, Decide, Obituary, Millenium, Iced Earth, Sebastian Bach), Ill Niño (Then; El Niño), Rob Moschetti (Bass - Pro Pain, Generation Kill), Sal Lococo (Vocals -Sworn Enemy), Shadows Fall.
I am currently the drummer for Retribution; cover band playing heavy metal hits from the 70s to today. When I'm not playing with my regular project, I am a very active educator and session musician; offering recording, live performance, rehearsal and drum maintenance services. I specialize in a variety of genres and styles ranging from: Acoustic, Alternative, Blues, Country, Dance, Ethnic, Hip Hop, Latin, Pop, Punk, R&B, Rap, Reggae, Rock, Soul and beyond! I am also the owner and engineer of "The Studio" home of recording, mixing and mastering services; based out of Upper Westchester County NY.
I am a privileged and proud to be endorsed by Soultone Cymbals, StickPro, Humes & Berg Mfg., Xcel Drumsticks, Sweet Spots and Dirtbag Clothing. Aside from my busy, yet flexible work schedule, I am a certified EMT in NY State. When I'm not drumming or saving lives, I enjoy spending time with my family.
