About Me
Jersey Drums
Drums have always been apart of my life! I was lucky to have my Moms drum set to beat on since I could walk. My parents saw that I had an interest in them and signed me up for drum lessons at Jersey Drums in Brick NJ. From the age of 5 to about 12 I spent every Thursday with my drum and life lesson teacher Tommy Dragonetti. I owe my parents and Tommy everything for spending the time on me and my drumming. That's my Mom on the left playing her and my first drum kit!
High-School and College
I played In every band offered at Monsignor Donovan Catholic HS. I was once again extremely lucky to have the guidance and friendship of our school music teacher Harold Frazee. Around this time I began playing my drums out at free gigs and jam sessions. Before leaving for York College of Pennsylvania, my good friends Chad Morales (guitar) and Hans Frank (Stand Up Bass) and I played at the Stone Pony in Asbury during a battle of the bands. I graduated from the York College of PA with a business degree and a lot of new friends, most of which were found through music!
Current
Since graduating college and moving back to the Jersey Shore, I have been playing with local bands and doing occasional recording. I am currently playing with the LBI Local Legends The Danksters. Here's a photo of us playing a show in Hollywood at the Whisky a go-go. Surf Surf Surf Surf! I am always looking for opportunities to play my drums and make new connections. Thanks for visiting!
