Based on a true story of Hope, Faith, Family, and Young Memories, I will, to the best of my ability and, as memory permits, chronologically pace through some memoirs from the beginning of my life with experiences that will eventually lead to a unique and incredible musical adventure. This particular experience would test the boundaries that include but are not limited to physical stamina, musicianship, dedication, discipline, and passion. What I believe to be a very different kind of experience, I included a more all-encompassing story that incorporates many memories of my family, various childhood adventures, and numerous events that will provide a more in-depth look at the chosen path.

This is a memoir of a young person's deep passion and the dream of possibly performing in an exclusive musical event. Although music still plays an integral part in my life, the book focuses on when I was approximately seven to twenty-one. This includes learning, performing, teaching, and loving music, more specifically, rudimental drumming in my formative years, and how I was fortunate to have a wonderful family whose influence led to the chance (even though brief) of performing on a grand musical stage. Nonetheless, I would be neglectful if I did not include at least a short family history to make the story more wholesome. After all, this is how I became who I am.

However, this story does not reflect on my later life, subsequent career, or my wonderful and most important immediate family: my wife Jennifer, my sons Michael and Nicholas, my daughter Mary Rosaline, and our angel, whom we will see someday. It also doesn't cover my delightful and faithful dogs through the years, Pepper, Sheba, Luna, Zoey, and Bella (and more will probably follow in the years to come). These are simply some young memories about a childhood dream and goal and what I believe to have been a unique experience. Sometimes, you need the attitude and motivation not to give up on the things you love. Even though I am not a professional writer, if presenting this means it might help someone in any way, then it is well worth the effort. Having a deep passion for something and making at least some effort can be a great experience. Trying has worth, no matter the consequences, as long as it is for the good of things.
