I’m a freelance drummer, percussionist, and educator based in New York City. You can hear me playing drums and percussion for a wide range of Broadway shows, including Hamilton, Book of Mormon, Dear Evan Hansen, Wicked, and Avenue Q. In the fall of 2016 I originated the drum book for the Off-Broadway show Ride The Cyclone. I can be heard on RuPaul's Drag Race contestant Trixie Mattel's debut EP "Two Birds" released in May 2017. I’ve also worked with Rumer Willis, Matt Gould, Doreen Montalvo, Ryan Raftery, and Ben Platt among other singers and composers. As an active drum instructor, I provide one-on-one lessons to all ages and skill levels. I also teach materclasses and workshops at local schools, colleges, and universities in the New York and Philadelphia areas. I hold a Master's Degree in Jazz Studies from the University of the Arts, and a Bachelor's Degree in Drum Set Performance from the University of the Arts.
