One day my brother brought home the album Aerosmith "Rocks" it changed my life, I had never heard such cool music, I still listen to it at least once a week. These guys make me work and think about the music, they have inspired me to evolve the songs, the creative process is amazing.

After first picking up the sticks at age 19, I finally bought my first Drum set in 2011 and spent the next few years playing along to my rock playlist in my garage, I had brief stops with 4 other projects before joining Beggars Day, I admire the bands constant drive to improve

Cut my teeth during late 70s rock, and then heavily influenced by the N.W.O.B.H.M. era. Played in various projects in Tucson and Flagstaff ( AFTERMATH, COVEN, RAZOR SHARP, T.S.P. ) before moving to Australia for 15 years. Ended up in Tasmania starting PARADIGM, and for 5 years played shows all over the N.W. coast. This band has everything I look for -- peaks, valleys, and an eye for crispness and melody. CAUTION - Heavy rock will be coming your way !!!

I started singing around the age of 10 when I heard my first heavy metal. I would try to emulate every singer I heard. Although I did not pursue this passion until I was in my 40’s I am glad I stepped out on faith and auditioned for my first original band Snake Oil Revival. After moving back to Washington I then fumbled around with a few cover bands but was never satisfied, that is when I found Beggars Day. They have everything I am looking for in a band.
