My musical background goes back to when I was about eight years old. I remember going to Minneapolis with my family to visit my Aunt and Uncle, and my uncle would always play some drums for us . I thought it was the coolest thing ever and one trip up there he asked me if I would ever want to play. Well of course I said yes and so he gave me the Ludwig drum set that he played on back in the 60's with his band, the Majester Ludi. I immediately started taking private lessons in Cedar Rapids until about the time I entered high school , where a friend convinced me to join the drum line. I played in various bands throughout school dabbling in everything from jazz to latin to funk. Once I graduated I quit playing for a few years until now playing with Lockren.
