	Mike Wrench My name is Mike Wrench. I am 27 years old. I currently reside in Montoursville, Pennsylvania. At a young age I was influenced by a variety of bands from the Beatles to Green Day. Since then, I have become influenced by more modern musicians ranging from Abe Laboriel Jr. and Jeremy Hummel to Shannon Larkin, Josh Freese, and Ray Luzier. When watching a band, I've always been focused on the drummer more than any other band member. It is because of my interest in drumming that I started off learning on my own. I got involved with Worship music when my brother mentioned one day that his church needed a drummer. And after Three years of playing for Worship bands, I have realized that there is no better rush than playing in front of people and at the same time reaching out to others. Misc.
