After years of school bands and orchestras, as well as weekend gigs with various rock bands, I moved to Iowa City, majoring in music at the University of Iowa. Studying percussion with Tom Davis, and playing with local jazz groups kept me busy until 1977, when I moved to San Diego, CA. I also maintain a home recording studio, where I record drum and percussion tracks for various projects. Besides teaching privately, I am the drumset instructor at Mira Costa College in Oceanside California, as well as the University of California San Diego, in La Jolla
