Born in Sacramento, California August 30,1995. I have lived in Auburn for all of my life.
I live with my parents and my two older sisters.

I got my first drum set when I was 6 my dad taught me four beats and one little fill and from there on out I was on my own experimenting with those four beats and that fill and sometimes Dad popped in and taught me some more stuff. I wasn’t enthusiastic until the third grade when I got interested in rock.


When I was in the fifth grade I got a hold of a Jimi Hendrix album (I was amazed!), then I got an even bigger awakening - Led Zeppelin, The Who and even early Rush.
Then ADHD started. We get along like brothers… and all that that implies.

Some of my inspirations include Mitch Mitchell [Jimi Hendrix], John Bonham [Led Zeppelin] Dave Grohl [Foo Fighters, Nirvana] Taylor Hawkinson [Foo Fighters] and Neil Peart [Rush].


Although I specialize in drums I also play piano guitar and some bass.

I currently play a 5 pc. Maple Pacific Drum kit in an oyster blue finish, with Aquarian heads, Zildjian Cymbals and Pro Mark 747W Sticks. I get my gear from Encore Music and thank Jay and Paul and all of Larry’s guys for being so cool to me whenever I go in there to shop or dream.
