I started beating on stuff when I was two years old. Played in local bands such as Falling Closer, A Divided Dream, and SYX before I got into 36 Crazyfists. Now, I play for 36 Crazyfists, and a new band called Ligature Marks. I'm just a classic horror movie loving kid who loves to play music!

Why do you choose Vic Firth?
I choose Vic Firth because of the quality of the product. But, more so than that, the staff and everyone within the company really cares about their artists and everyone involved. It seems very much like a family and, I love that.
