An American drummer living in Iceland trying not to disturb the huldúfólk.

With nearly four decades as a professional musician, I’ve had the privilege of performing all over the world. Starting off in Virginia as a rock drummer, I infiltrated the jazz scene, moved to New York City, and now live in Iceland. I’ve released five albums as a leader and have been lucky enough to record and perform with people much more talented than myself.

A huge part of my career is defined by collaborations with creative people. As a musician, composer, designer, or podcaster – it’s the people around me that make it work. I’m fascinated by creativity and much of my writing and podcasting is dedicated to looking at ways the various creative fields can learn from each other.
