About Me

First and foremost- my passion is drumming, drumset specifically. I was playing on pots and pans before I could walk. Luckily I have very supportive parents who bought me my first kit at age 11- a 1969 Ludwig Champagne Sparkle kit , a beauty that I still own and love. My dream is to become a touring musician with my band sursie. I am sooo blessed to have met my musical soul mate in this lifetime, best friend Star Scott, and together we are the wonder twins in the form of rockstars. By day, I work as a music teacher. Music is my life and makes me an alive and happy person.
