Hey! thanks for checking out my link. As you know I am the drummer in “Uncle Jam” and I also do vocals. I’ve been in “Uncle Jam” since it’s inception in 1995. I also play guitar and piano, but my passion is banging on the “skins”. The past few years playing with Dave “bass” and Mike “guitar” have been the best musical years of my life. The level they play at definitely allows me to play the way I like to play. Although some of our tastes are different, we seem to find a way to come up with a great set list and a very full sound. The fun we have on and off stage is truly genuine.
 

My influences are “Kiss”, “Poison”, “Loverboy”, “38 Special”, “Winger”, “Edwin McCain”, “Journey”, “Great White”, “Double Axel” and “Elton John”, to name a few. I also own a recording studio in Lake Placid called, “Buzzy Rickard Recording Studios”. We produce anything from bands, single acts, and commercials. I really enjoy being in the studio because there is no limit as to what you can do. I can honestly say I learn something new every session.
 

Some of my other interests include, waterskiing, golfing, and I’m an official for USA Hockey.
