I began playing drums at age 12. I first did digital recording of drums in history with inventor of the digital audio Tape machine, Dr. Thomas G. Stockham, at the University of Utah computer science Lab in 1975. I was awarded the first 4 year scholarship ever to be given to a percussionist by the University of Utah in 1978. I was also awarded a set of Zildjian Cymbals, by the Zildjian Cymbal Co, for being the most outstanding drummer out of over 150 college jazz ensembles from all over the western United States at the Orange Coast College Jazz festival in Costa Mesa California in 1978. I moved to Denton, Texas to attend the University of North Texas. I studied under Dan Hearle and Rich Matteson. I have played professionally in Dallas and Ft Worth until 1986 when I moved to Oakland California. There I recorded with Gutarist Calvin Keys on the Cd called "Calvinesque for the Siverado lable. I also recorded with pianist Ed Kelly & singer Faye Carol, Pianist Al Tanner. I performed with the late blues artist Charles Brown , who is most well-known for the the hit "Merry Christmas Baby". In 1996 I returned to Dallas and performed with Smokin Joe Kubek.
