Mike has been playing drums since could hold sticks in his hand. He studied for many years with great drum instructors including Bill Jenson, and Larry S. Levine. Mike supplied the beat for Capital disctict bands including Vizion, Blind Justice, Impact, Tantrum, Lickety Split, KP & Co (R.I.P KP) and Silver Lining. Now living in PA, Mike is learning to play guitar, bass and keys as well as working to develop some recording skills and some songwriting chops. Most of what you hear on this page is the result of those efforts. Ongoing collaborations with long time band mate and Friend Erich Carlson, as well as a new songwriting partnership with lyricist Brian Natell have been opening new roads to explore. Hopefully, some of those songs will be posted here soon.
