The Two Wolves

Look at the front of my bass drum above and you’ll see two wolves, one light and one dark, locked together. That’s the war. There’s an old story that says two wolves live inside each of us, one in the light and one in the shadow, and the one you feed is the one that grows. Every time I sit behind this kit, I know which one I’m feeding.

Music

There’s a profound connection between music and the unseen. Sound is more than vibration. It’s a gateway to Divine Architecture, echoing the harmonies of creation itself. Certain frequencies, like 432 Hz and 528 Hz, resonate with the natural harmonics of the universe, helping us realign with balance and healing. Even scripture speaks to this power. David played the harp to drive out the evil spirit that tormented Saul, a reminder that music doesn’t just entertain. It transforms.

Music is memory in motion. A single rhythm can transport us to a moment long buried: a first dance, a heartbreak, a lullaby whispered in the dark. Musicians are conductors of these emotional journeys, blending beats and melody to awaken something timeless within us. It’s a universal language that crosses cultures, generations and even dimensions.

When I’m not immersed in the supernatural or the demands of daily life, I find solace in the sacred rudiments of drumming, a journey that began at age twelve. Growing up with ADHD, I found my refuge in rhythm. The motion of the drums calmed the chaos and let me move between math and melody.

Today, my sound spans the raw energy of hard rock, the smooth grooves of funk and the soulful pulse of R&B. Over more than 25 years, I’ve shared the stage with many talented musicians across the New England circuit. The Rhode Island music scene, gritty, vibrant and full of heart, was a proving ground for countless artists who still carry its spirit with them.

For Brian

Brian Horta was my best friend and my drum teacher. He taught me how to play, and he taught me how to listen. He loved the old horror shows as much as I did. When I was a kid, he’s the one who showed me “Living Doll” on The Twilight Zone. We lost him in February 2026. Every time I count off a song, he’s in it. This page is for him.
