| Personal History | Sherman was born an only child and therefore a bit spoiled being his parents did care for him as it should be. They indulged him only to a degree and were strict enough to teahc thei son the lesson of right from wrong. It was noticed early on that Sherman had an aptitude for percussion insturments as his toy drum as a child sounded better than just a child making noise, this trend continued as he grew older and the 'sounds' were not noise. In grade school he was given lessons at the drums and took to it like a fish to water. Playing school talent shows and such he made a small name for himself. His one thing was a disheveled hair style that sometimes covered at least one eye, almost like a sheep dog style. Thus he was given the nick name 'Swampy' by the kids in junior high. Like most kids he had a rebellion phase with hisa music yet the strict and loving nature of his family kept him from delving in the illicit drugs or drinking. Sherman was in it for the music; his high intellect had earned him the talent to keep a high grade average as well as playing in small bands. He had a love of the written word and his skill at organizing his notes made him sought after as a tutor. Part of his conflicted nature comes from the whimsical nature of a musician mixed with the organization of his high intellect. His room is well neatly organized despite his appearance sometimes being casual he is not obsessive but more concern over appearances and how well things can be accessed. |
