I have spent the 20+ years in the music field dedicated to percussion performance and education. Here, you can get a glimpse into some of the most significant events from my music career ranging from my first year in middle school band all the way to winning a Fred Sanford Award with the world renown Bluecoats Drum & Bugle Corps last year.   
In 2010, my best friend Mark Perrett and I set out to publish a rudimental drumming book based on Gridding(a common permutation based exercise format). Two years later, our vision came to fruition and thus The Grid Book Series was born!

Since then, Mark and I have gone on to publish a total of thirteen percussion based method books. Here you can explore our publications.

As an educator I take immeasurable pride in my students accomplishments both musical and personal. Here, I created a space to celebrate my students achievements and commemorate their unwavering dedication to self-improvement through the percussive arts.
Thank you all for your trust in me over the years. I look forward to seeing how EACH Of you DEVELOP and shape your futures in and out of the music field.
