—————
I’m a drummer, DJ and a style/life coach. I play drums for a songwriter, DJ for the Nashville Preds and am always down for a good hang. I was born in Nashville, graduated high school in Hendersonville and now I’m a full-time dad/musician. I try to keep it interesting!
Tofu Cashew Stir-Fry at The Smiling Elephant
What’s not to love?! It’s got everything – pan seared tofu, broccoli, pineapple, cashews! The list goes on and on. And man…that sauce on the side! One of my all time favorites for sure.
Sonor Vintage Series Drums
These are the best drums I’ve ever played! End of story.
Stax Records
Stax was a powerhouse! My favorite drummer (Al Jackson Jr.) was in the house band and played on most of the early records. Stax had a strong community vibe and I think that was the secret to its success. 
The Madison Library
My daughters love going to story time at the Madison Library. They always come back talking about Ms. Lauren and Ms. Lisa and how much fun they had!
BBQ Asian Tofu sandwich at Mitchell Deli
When I lived on the Eastside, I would go to Mitchell’s once a week and get this sandwich. Almost a decade later and I still love it!
