About Me

I started playing drums in the fifth grade In Bloomington, Indiana, taking private lessons and playing in school bands for 5 years. I then began playing and recording in local bands for the next 13 years in Bloomington through out High School, College, and beyond. I recorded with Dragstrip, and released a CD in 1994 on Shredder Records titled “Reaction Time”. In 1998, I moved to San Francisco and resumed my musical education by studying drum set with Robert Danielson, former drummer for Beach Blanket Babylon. I have also continued to play and record with area bands. I have played with the City College Big Band and I played drums on demo CD recordings for San Francisco based bands, Lessick’s Kid and Bug. I was employed as the drummer for the musical “With Relish”, by Morris Bobrow in 2004. I currently play in a band called Bug with MFT member Hans Winold. I married my wife Caroline in 2005. We have three sons; a 11 year old, a 2 year old, and a 10 month old.

Peace Dykes, Go Mango, Dragstrip, Snuff Queen, Lessick's Kid, The SinThetics, Chum, Bug

I just saw your Mom a few years ago; my sister Ellen is back in Bloomington with her son Nathaniel, and Tonia came over with bagels. We had a nice time. Nice looking family you have there, congratulations.

At 8:28pm on March 4, 2009, Monice Henson said…: I'm great! Your family is really beautiful, but that doesn't surprise me cause your beautiful! (inside and out) I'm still livin in B-town, well actually I just moved back, and I'm preparing to go back to FL. Next Jan/Feb.

At 1:13pm on March 2, 2009, Noah Lucas said…: Hey Man! Nice lookin' buncha rugrats you got there. I've got a daughter myself, guess I should get some pics up of her but I always figure people will check the myspace if they're really interested. Still in SF eh? haven't made it back yet but I figure it'll still be there. Was gonna hit the States this last Summer but the planets never aligned... At this point I might as well make it an even decade.

Haven't updated that website in 5 years or so but it gives the feel... I may have matured but the bar sure hasn't. Love to you and yours.

At 5:30pm on February 25, 2009, jen Neitzel said…: OMG, I had totally forgotten. I looked at your pics. Your family is gorgeous! Nice work! I remember you as one of the nicest guys I ever knew. I am sure you are still the same. Nice to hear from you.
