The young drummer’s dad, who works as the Service Manager at Hubler Auto in Rushville, said he thinks it’s great his son is enjoying success.
“It’s got its ups and downs, you know, of course we miss him, but it’s exciting,” Tom said. “It’s really nice that he’s been able to see the country, and now he’s seeing the world, and doing it in a positive manner. As long as he can make a good living doing that then I think that’s what he wants to do.”
