I began playing drums fresh out of high school at eighteen years of age, playing in bands in the local Minneapolis scene. I decided to follow my bliss and try to play in a touring band any way I could, playing whatever instrument I could. Long story short, I spent a few years touring the US and Europe in different bands before I landed my current gig, behind the kit with Chicagos own Local H, in November 2013.
