I was a professional drummer for over 20 years playing various college club circuits as well as numerous gigs on the Florida and Alabama gulf coast. Among those was a two year stint with "The Great Pretenders" show-band in Destin. Fl. I also performed in other gulf coast bands such as "Toast and Jam", "Ten Penny", and the" Buffalos". Some of the venues I have played on the coast includes 'Yesterday's Rock n Roll Cafe', 'Fudpuckers' of Destin, 'Sam's Oyster House', 'Gilligan's Seafood Restaurant', 'Buster's Bar and Grill' and 'Don Carlos Mexican Cantina', 'The Boathouse Oyster Bar', 'The Buck Wild Saloon' 'Pandora's Steak House', Category 5 Bar and Grill, and 'The Nikko Inn'. I have also played at Fat Daddy’s (Auburn, AL), The Front Porch, Double Branch Saloon (Troy, AL). These days my musical endeavors include playing solo acoustic guitar gigs and songwriting. I have written over 40 original songs. I am the songwriter of, Nashville artist , Martin McDaniel 's song "Everything". I was the drummer for the L.B.W. college jazz show ensemble for two years studying percussion, music theory, applied piano and applied voice.
