Bio

With over 25 years of experience, I have had many opportunities to play the drums. Whether it has been playing in a band or in Nashville I still love the feeling of locking into a solid groove with other musicians.  I have the privilege of playing for various bands, being a drum coach, and being a freelance drummer. No matter the opportunity to play the drums I always seek to play with Time & Taste.

I currently live in Fortuna, CA with my wife and 4 boys. We are self-supporting missionaries which allow us to serve the local and global church. I have also spent time studying the Biblical Languages (Greek, and Hebrew). I publish my writings and teachings at MusicaTheologica. No matter what I do in life I seek to: Glorify God & Make Disciples – All for the Sake of the Gospel.
