Welcome to Downtime!

This page gives you a glimpse of what I do when I'm not sitting behind the drums.

Of course, I listen to music as much as I can, as I have many musical influences and I try to draw from all of these to create my own sound.

Some of the CD's that I've been checking out lately are...

-Jesus Culture-Consumed

-Israel Houghton-The Power of One

-Donny McCaslin-Recommended Tools

-Michael Jackson

-Brian Blade-Mama Rosa

-Lenny Kravits-It is Time for a Love Revolution

-Duke Ellington Meets Coleman Hawkins

-Mint Condition-E-Life and Live at the 9:30 Club

When I'm not on the road, my favorite thing to do is spend time with my ladies...those being my lovely wife of 16 years and three daughters.

I will be updating this page frequently so stop by again soon. If you have any good books or recordings to share I'd love to hear about them, I'm always looking for new things to check out.
