Life moves so fast. I remember my first public performance when, at 8 years old, I was cast as the Little Drummer Boy for my church holiday extravaganza. Since then, I have had many wonderful musical experiences and my passion for music has grown immensely. I've had the fortune to play with and learn from many local and international musicians. In addition, I've enjoyed playing professionally in Seattle's many music venues over the last few years. Sharing my passion for drums is in itself a passion and I have been sharing with local developing drummers at DRUMPLOSION! STUDIOS located in West Seattle. Here, I provide music education and recording services to enthusiastic students. I also teach at several 4/4 School of Music locations including Seattle, Redmond, and Kirkland.

Please check out some of the stuff I've done below.
"One of the main reasons I play is because I love people. When you love people, you love cultures. When you love cultures, you love their music. And when you love the music, you just love the world."
