More about Zack
I am currently enrolled at Northwest-Shoals community college in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. I am planning to obtain a degree in music/ music education from the University of North Alabama after I conclude my time at NWSCC taking my prerequisites. I love teaching/ tutoring students about music, Specifically in the percussion realm. I've been drumming in some way, shape, or form since around age 9. Aside from my passion for music, I enjoy spending off time on the water, Bass fishing. Wether it be competitive or recreational, spending time on any lake or river is one of my favorite pass times!
