Big Steve #5 aka "The Show"

I am here for Networking

About Me

I am a full time accountant (CPA). Part time athlete & musician. I play and teach drums and numerous other percussion instruments. If you need a studio percussionist, think of me also. Lastly, God put it in my heart a while back to start the SJP Foundation, after my late brother in law and dear friend. This non profit organisation would serve to teach music, drama, dance, and give children an outlet with positive encouragement. Look out for it as time goes on.
