“At the age of two weeks, I was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. I have had multiple surgeries and since been blessed with each breath I breathe and each step I take. After my last surgery, my father sat me down and really got me thinking about why I go to church and why I believe in the things my family believes in. Since the age of six, I have been learning about and serving the Lord in every way I can. I started to play drums at the age of eight, getting lessons from one of my neighbors across the street. I played worship for my youth group all throughout middle school. In high school, I played all four years in the school’s concert and jazz band. I play Drums, Guitar, Bass, and Trombone as well as learning other instruments like Keyboard and Trumpet.”
