Sweet Talk (Live @ 5301.18a Arts & Culture Lab)
My first creation Iām proud of.
As I continue to chase an evergrowing standard that doesnāt exist, Iāve forced myself to share my first stop with a practice take that was better than the final.
While all these awesome people I call friends were testing camera angles and places to sit, we ended up making something pretty imperfect and cool. So thank you to everyone involved for fighting Murphy's Law with me that day, and I can assure you itāll only get better from here.

Viva California!
California changed my life in every way. Off to my new home/first real appartment in Dallas next weekā¦ God continues to lay my path before me and I cannot wait to see what he is preparing me for with this move!!!
Very grateful for my Friends, my Team, and every blessing in between.
To more Adventure. š„šŗļøš
Practicing parts on a budget out here on a sunny LA Morningā¦ Don't wanna wake the roommates!š¤«š
Taking a lesson today and Iām suuuper excited!! Been putting lots of time and intention into my approach, and I am working hard to remain consistent in building new positive habits before a big year of shows!
Always feeling blessed!! Happy Monday!!š«
Heya friends!! I am so excited to be spending the first few months of 2025 working out of West Hollywood, LA!š„
After a summer on the road + the last few months of projects all over the place - Iām looking forward to spending substantially more time in CA. Very much ready for the opportunity to learn from the incredibly diverse population of talented musicians who call LA home, and to continue developing my craft in new challenging and exciting contexts.ā¤ļøš„
Iāve put together some of my favorite camera roll moments from recent months, as well as a list of some favorite songs Iāve gotten to work on, across genres, so you can have a chance to hear who I am and what I play. Iāll have this pinned up in my profile, so donāt be afraid to share it around! Itās a huge help.š«
I am interested in doing any/all kinds of work while in town Jan-April. If youāre a drummer who needs a tech for local sessions/rehearsals, Iām all yours! I am eager, fast to learn, always prepared/punctual, and ready to be of service however I canā¦ Including, of course - touring, live shows, and drum recording. I always carry a professional attitude, play professional equipment, and perform with palatable intentionality. Letās work together!!
So much is in the works now that will make 2025 to be quite an exciting one. Canāt wait to continue seeing the work pay off. Cheers to a great upcoming year and wishing everyone a Happy Holidays!!
