MAKE IT
I enjoy designing and fabricating all kinds of things. Sometimes I get a commission for a specific item, sometimes I make things I need, other times I create something just for the joy of learning something new.
PLAY IT
I am a freelance musician, but also a regular member of several ensembles in the Phoenix area. I also teach percussion in the community college system and play for dance classes.
FIX IT
I am a fixer of things. Some skills I learned on a job, some by necessity, and others out of curiosity. I re-head a fair number of jembes for other folks, and also maintain my personal flock of 45+ sabar drums. I’m not an expert at anything, but I can do a little of everything!
“I wanted to let you know that I received

“Easy to set up on a timpano, easy to adjust and mark the pitches, works smoothly and quietly, and easy to remove and store for the next gig! The gauge is very well made with strong magnets and pitch indicators. The cord and weight have the correct balance for smooth operation. And, the manual is well written with detailed instructions for various pedal types. Congratulations on a well thought-out gauge that is very useful for students and professionals.”
“My gauges on my personal timpani are not working.
What am I going to do?
No worries, I have my back-up gauges
