An American drummer living in Iceland trying not to disturb the huldúfólk.

With nearly four decades as a professional musician, I’ve had the privilege of performing all over the world. Starting off in Virginia as a rock drummer, I infiltrated the jazz scene, moved to New York City, and now live in Iceland. I’ve released five albums as a leader and have been lucky enough to record and perform with people much more talented than myself.

But music has always been part of a bigger obsession: creativity itself – how it works, why it stalls, what it looks like across disciplines. That curiosity led me to design, to writing, and eventually to Keep the Flow, a podcast about the creative process for musicians, designers, writers, and anyone else who makes things. It all connects.

I’m just trying to figure out how.
