DRUM LESSONS

If you read the "About Me" PDF you'll know that I teach drum lessons. Though this is a new endeavor for me, I am very excited to be teaching something I am so passionate about. If you would like a lesson or two or three then contact me via email or by phone (cell is on the promo flyer below).

Lessons are 20.00 per half hour session, and I can come to you.

ABOUT ME - v.2010

I haven't updated this section of the site in awhile, but the "About Me" link in the nav bar above has been updated with a new PDF.

In 2009, the turning economy forced me into several different avenues. Though architecture has been my training, music and graphic design have long been passions of mine. I have played drums for 15 years and professionally for the last 3 years in several Raleigh bands (their links can be found to the right on the sidebar). Graphic design has come naturally through architecture. The art of presentation is completely integrated into the profession, and I have tried to use those strengths and passions to create some of my own graphic ideas for others.

Architecture was hit severely in 2009, but I've tried my best to continue creating and pursuing the things I love. I am currently teaching drum lessons in the Raleigh area as well.

More about that later.

JACK THE RADIO

I'm recording drums with Raleigh band Jack the Radio. If you get a chance swing by the website and check out the tunes.

DRUMS

Current music happenings:

1. Writing, recording and playing with Silver in Raleigh, NC. We hope to have a short EP this spring in hopes to push to major contacts in the industry. Songs are in pre-production at the moment and progressing nicely. Silver will be hitting Low Watt Studios with well known local producer Ted Comerford this January of 2010.

2. Writing and playing with Jack the Radio, Raleigh, NC. JTR is in a writing and editing process. With tons of ideas roaming around, the goal is to narrow those ideas down into a cohesive album that could possibly be released in 2010.

3. Playing with cover band The Mirrors, Raleigh, NC. The Mirrors have hit several hot spots over the NC, SC and GA lines and these "cover gigs" have kept me very busy. If ever in need of a band for your event, be sure to shoot us a line (or just email me at the contact email above).

HARDWOODS

I'm currently working on some hardwood floors for Craft Construction in downtown Raleigh. No interior shots yet, but here are some exterior shots. Quite a transformation from the before + after shots. They've done a marvelous job creating a new street scape in a once rough section of historic Oakwood.

FINISHING

The final touches have been put on the apartment. New carpet + tile grace the once water damaged floors, and new paint on the trim + walls have covered the once beaten walls nicely. I hope to have higher resolution photos up soon. For now, another shot of the kitchen with the new counter top, cabinets and track fixture.
