Born in Downers Grove I.L. on July 14 1988 Raised in Westmont I.L. He started learning the trumpet in Jr. high. He tryed out for the drums during 7th grade but was denied a tryout because to many other students had signed up for the drums.(which only 3 actualy made it.) In the 8th grade he skiped the tryouts and told the new music teacher that he had always been a drummer. He was tested by the teacher and then given a spot in the drummers section of the Westmont Jr. High Band/Marching band/ and concert band. "i was never questioned after that, wether i was a drummer or not. i just watched the other drummers and played it all by ear" After Jr. High his family moved out to Lanark I.L. By his freshman year in High school He had played every percussion Insterment in both schools he had been at except the drumset. During one of the Eastland High school bands pep band practices the teacher needed some one to play the drumset part for the song "wipeout". With very little practice on a set and only the memory of what the song sounded like he climbed on the set and played it threw. Since then he's learned the drumset,guitar,bass,singing and other percussion insterments. Now he's the Drummer and Main song writer for his Co founded Band -Turning Point- "I'am not the man in black, I'am the man in Back"
