I have been playing drums professionally for over 50 years.

During that time, I have played just about every style of music, i.e. rock, blues, jazz, country, americana, latin, gospel, folk, etc.

I toured nationally and internationally with both Chuck Leavell and Curtis Mayfield.  While with Curtis, I did 6 European tours including the '87 Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, Expo '90 in Japan, and also toured extensively within the US.  In addition, I performed in "live" radio and TV broadcasts and video taping.

Video credits include:
