About Me

I was a professional drummer for many years, but have since left the playing world behind and I do miss it much. My musical training started at 11 years old, all through grade school and high school, the Naval Training Center, San Diego, CA, Pensacola Jr. College, and the Univ. of West Florida. I have been creating music tracks for about 6 years. I started with Beatcraft, but that wasn't cutting it, so I invested in Cakewalk's Music Creater than moved on to Cakwalk's Sonar X1 Studio, than X2 Producer and now use Sonar X3 Producer. Check out my compilations with my friend Franco:
