About Me

Hey Everybody! This is me & here's my short story. I was born in Fort Dodge, IA & raised in Pocahontas, IA. I've been druming since I was about 12 which makes that about 18 years now & it just keeps gettin better. I started with band in 5th grade & all thru high school including, concert, marching, jazz, & solo ensembles. I took a year off after high school cause I moved to Phoenix & didn't have room for my drums, but after I moved back home to Pocahontas I started pounding away again & haven't let up since. I currently live in Dakota City, IA & work full time @ Universal Parts making aluminum radiators & fan shrouds 4 any auto u can think of until Shards of Ember hits the road. I have 3 beautiful children that God has blessed me with Taylor Allen, Taylor Ohlinger, & Cadence Ohlinger. My past band history roughly goes like this:(1999-2000) Bad Habit, (2000-2001) Blackwater Revival (what a Creedance ripoff), (2001-2005) House of Cards, & (2005- 2009) GearDown. My new project is Shards of Ember!! & I'm happy 2 say we're finally going about the music business the right way. I hope everyone out there in this cut throat world finds what they truly love & makes it their living not their hobby. Keep that Groove flowin! & Keep Rockin Forever!! with whatever U Love!! God Bless!! & Good Luck!!Jim OH!!
