About Me

OK, here goes.. This really is a personal, I just wanted to showcase some of the music done by me and my buddies, so really, this is the best way i know of. Anyways! My name is John (or Johnathan) Tomsich (dont worry about pronouncing it, its pointless and you probly can't do it). I live in Hartville, ohio, and I'm 18 years old. My birthday is on July 7th. I'm a huge goofball, and sometimes rethink something after I've done it twice (not just once, im not that quick). I play guitar, keyboard/piano, and I love to sing. I've been playin guitar for almost 6 years, and I just started playing keyboard a few weeks befor christmas (06). I also work at Akron General Hospital, currently in the kitchen, but hopfully that changes.. I thouroughly enjoy going to church @ maranatha in Green. It can be hard to find a place where you feel accepted, but when you do, your faith is allowed to expand by leaps and bounds, and thats how Maranatha makes me feel. I've recently enrolled in Stark State and am studying to become a physical therapist. I've been interested in physical therapy/ physical training since the dawn of 8th grade. Since then I have had the opportunity to work with 2 trainers (1 personal, 1 high school athletic) and had a great experience with the both of them, and really hope to be abe to pursue my goal of helping people overcome physical and mental disabilities. Well, I guess that me in a nutshell, a fairly large, information packed nutshell. If you want to talk to me or anything my Screenname is Kingkaddy06 and my email is [email protected]. happy listening :)
