Marc is the drummer, percussionist, and webmaster for Sideways Down. With 48 years of drumming experience, Marc has spent a lifetime behind the kit, beginning in his teenage years and continuing through college, where his early playing was rooted primarily in classic rock. Those formative influences helped shape his sense of groove, dynamics, and feel—elements that continue to define his playing today.

Over the years, Marc has performed with a variety of bands and has also had the unique experience of playing alongside both his brother and his son, who are each bass players. Music has always been a strong family connection for him as well as a lifelong passion.

After retiring from his full-time career, Marc found the opportunity to return more fully to his musical roots and was fortunate to connect with a talented group of like-minded musicians in Sideways Down. The band’s wide-ranging repertoire—spanning classic rock, southern rock, oldies, R&B, country, and modern Americana—has both suited his background and continually challenged him as a musician, allowing him to expand his versatility while staying grounded in the styles that first inspired him.

When he’s not keeping the beat on stage, Marc can often be found teaching Computer Science classes at Rhode Island College, sharing his enthusiasm for technology and learning with students.
