I grew up in a musical family. I was hooked the first time my Dad took me to his band practice. I watched my dad's band and his drummer. I heard the drums and immediately fell in the pocket so to speak. I got my first set of drums when I was ten from a preacher at church. My idols as far as drummers go is Matt Maguire (Chain Smokers) Daniel Adair (Nickelback) and Greg Upchurch (3 Doors Down), George Daniel (1975 Band) is also one of my idols. They truly taught me so much.
