Hobbies: Other than playing drums, I enjoy watching stock car racing on TV. or even
at our local dirt track.  I also enjoy bowling, softball, fishing, boating and
four wheeling.  Also, just a night with friends having a good time.

Gear / Equipment: I play a five piece Mapex Orion Series kit with 100% maple shells.
Around the kit there are a variety of Zildjan ZXT Titanium
cymbals ranging in size from 10" to 22".  Pedals would include a
DW 5000 Series double kick pedal and a matching DW 5000 Hi-

to complete the whole kit.

In The Future... I hope that I will still be playing drums as long as my body will allow
me to.  I also hope to still be rockin' out with SideFX for many more years to come.
