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 four sons.

Good to hear from you!! What are you up to these days? It has been so long and I havve been so out of touch. I never intended for it to happen like that, life just led me down a path I had no idea was coming my way.

Thomas! Long time. Late eighties? Something like that. 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.

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.

I think it's funny that Jeb called out my lack of CD when we were roommates at the ballroom. My love of vinyl and detestation of the CD format runs along this line. 1971 - 1976 - a nearly constant stream of music from my dad's record collection esp…

interesting. Now if you could actually hit a button and somewhere a large jukebox would find the album, put it on the turntable and stream it, that would be something!

Oh, and the records from my parent's collection that really launched me? Their collection of "original Broadway cast" musicals made me think about telling stories through music; Allan Sherman's "My Son the Nut" taught me that music can be both serio…

I’ve probably mentioned this before here at MFT, but the first time I really, REALLY wanted a particular recording and found out it was only available on CD...late July of ‘95...that was one of the saddest days of my life. Crushing. I’m not sure jus…
