With over 20 years of experience playing, performing, and recording drums in almost every genre of music, I strive to bring both passion and versatility to my teaching. You can find me performing on stages around the San Francisco Bay Area with several bands, including Fire Peach (’90s rock tribute), Hella Doubtful (No Doubt tribute), Nimrods (Green Day tribute), Flavor (wedding and party band), Flight of Ulysses (original project) and Pitch Please (live band karaoke every Monday at all ages bar Alhambra Irish House). My past projects include Equator, Constructs, and Eastern Fusion Ensemble.

Outside of music, I am an artist and designer who enjoys exercising, learning new things, and spending time with my dog, Mocha. I love to make lessons engaging by sharing jokes, stories, and lighthearted pranks that keep my students smiling while they learn. My goal as an instructor is to inspire students to grow not only as musicians but also as creative, confident individuals.
