I began hitting things at a very early age. My mom was a big influence in getting me started. When she was young, she babysat for a family and the father played drums. Although she never pushed me towards it, she always hoped that if she had a boy (I guess only boys played back then...LOL) that he'd play drums...and I did. I played my first professional gig at the age of 12 and...lo and behold...here I am, nearly a half century later, still doing what I love.
