Sorry 'bout Your Belated Valentine (or, "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Rookie Card")

About four years ago, I was in a great band called Rookie Card.  It was, to date, my most prolific endeavor, and the one that has lead to more opportunities in the San Diego musical community than any other.  I am super thankful for my time as a "Rookie", and am very proud of the work we did to establish ourselves in the San Diego scene.  Adam, the singer and songwriter of the group, was and is responsible for our success, from writing great songs that were fun to play, to getting us shows I can't believe we got to play, to securing the funds and means to get three CD's recorded, two of which were nominated for SDMA's.  There is so much to write about my time in Rookie Card, that I thought I'd save it for a later post.  But, as most musicians and ALL parents know, things don't always go as planned...

On Beat

I have been drumming for nearly 24 years. It seems hard to believe when I tell it, but I realized this was the case when I got the announcement for my High School 2oth reunion, which is itself kinda daunting, and remembered that I started playing my freshman year.

On the other hand, I have been a father for just over a year and a half.
