I have been playing drums for over 50 years. I spent a great deal of time touring in the 80's playing all over the country in various rock bands, ending up in Las Vegas with a band called Little Sister. Eventually I returned home to Des Moines and continued to play in one band or another, or at church. My main drum influences have been Buddy Rich, John Bonham and Neil Piert. I'm also an avid motorcyclist and ride as often as possible.
