About Me

So... my name is Todd Dresdow.I am straight-edge. And by that I mean I don't drink, do drugs, or have premarital sex because I have seen the negative effects of these things in the lives of my family, friends and others.My friends are important to me. My best friends are Jeremy, Travis, and Trevor. We used to be in a band with me called A Hope Within. We do some crazy stuff together.Some of my other really close friends are: Liz, Hannah, Mellissa, Molly, Shelly, Emily and *Meredith*I love music. I play guitar primarily, but I also play other instruments on the side including: Piano, Bass, Drums, Harmonica, and Banjo.Some of my favorite places are: Waffle House, the roof of my screen room, Settles Bridge, the Bluegrass Barn, the Masquerade, Playtown Suwanee, and the Treehouse (wherever it is now).Basically, I believe in living life to the fullest and loving everyone despite their imperfections as well as my own.
