Why "Music4Life" ?

The name was suggested by a good friend of mine. When I heard it, I knew that it was perfect immediately! Music has always been my passion from the time I was a baby. I grew up digging in my parents record crates, making cassettes, and jamming out with drumsticks on the couch that set was up like a drumset to REO Speedwagon. When I was 19, a co-worker was fired and I bought his drumset so he could pay his rent. I finally began to learn to play drums by putting on records and listening to every note and playing along and learning. Later I enrolled at Austin Community College and began taking formal drum lessons and also audio engineering classes. Even now, I am still in love with music and I feel so blessed to be able to make my living doing what I have always loved doing by serving others with the gifts I have been given.
