I started playing drums in 1957 after seeing Buddy Rich play {that set it off}.
I played and practiced all through elementary, junior, and high school bands, orchestra, prep band, marching bands, and drum and bugle corps. After high school several local bands and oldie but goodie singer, Bobby day {Rockin' Robin}.
In 1973 I joined an Air force Band and traveled in a 9 piece Horn band around the country. After this I played with studio musicians for years and then I found Jesus Christ at the Salt Lake City mission in 1998 and my motive for playing music changed, after Jesus saved my life.
All of the drugs, alcohol, and wild parties was replaced to play for an audience of One, Jesus Christ. Also to let the Lord use me for His glory in my testimony, to give others hope through the music so they can find Jesus also. I want to touch the people with music in hopes that they will find Peace and Joy like the Lord has showed me and to find out what life is really all about.

God Bless You,
