Here’s what i am about i suppose..

I am married to my high school sweetheart and love of my life, Amanda, and have been for some time now. The drums have been an instrument that started out as a pastime, and has evolved into an outlet, occupation, way to give back, form of worship and source of energy. I travel a decent amount for work, playing in two bands with dear friends.  One is called Autumn In Repair.  The other is with my friend named Jeremy. I teach marching band and drumline at a high school in Kanas City. I also wait tables and bartend a little.  I read a lot, write a lot, drink a little, rock and/or roll a lot, love my wife a lot, love the Lord as well as i can, and try to get through each day living as a decent human being.
