I am a 5th-generation musician ofthe Hayes family, born in 1977 in Huntington, West Virginia. I've enjoyedlistening to music for as long as I can remember. Around age 11, I beganlearning to play the trumpet and piano and very quickly developed an equal loveof playing as I had for listening. Several years later, I learned for the firsttime about my family heritage, and it all made sense about why I had such astrong passion for music. Now, at age 30, I have never quit and even enjoydrumming, singing, and know a little on the guitar. I studied some music at MarshallUniversity, but ultimately, chose a different career. I have also performed inmany Marshall and community bands in West Virginia and currently remain amember of one. I am a physical therapist assistant in a Huntington nursing home.I married my high school sweetheart in 2003, and our son was born in 2007. Thisis my first book.
