Live.

My experience ranges widely including pop, rock, americana, country, jazz, and musical theater, to name a few genres. I've spent the early years of my career performing with Nashville-based artists such as Walker Burroughs, Essy, Hayden Coffman, Leah Sykes, Houston Kendrick, Tigirlily, Dustin Ransom, and many more.

My skill set includes:

• Drums & Percussion
• Show Programming (Backing Tracks)
• Musical Direction
• Band Leading
• Chart Writing
• Keys
• BGVs

Studio.

In addition to working from my own home studio, I’ve had the privilege to gain experience at various Nashville recording studios such as Ocean Way Nashville, The Tracking Room, Starstruck Entertainment,  Art House Studios, Gnome Recording Studios, and more.

Transcription.

I've worked with educators like Stephen Taylor (stephensdrumshed.com), Chad Lefkowitz-Brown (jazzlessonvideos.com), and Tim Buell (timbuellmusic.com), as well as published a thesis of nearly 40 different transcriptions with detailed analysis of some of my favorite drummers.
