Dustin rowe-kenney biography

Hi my name is Dustin Rowe-Kenney, I was born and raised in Gainesville, Florida
    Some things I am interested In are :
I love to play the drums it is a passion and something to calm me down.  I wish to be in a band  some day because they make a lot of money and I can do the thing that I love the most. another thing that I am interested in is swimming , I would love to be on the high school swim team. Swimming for me is a way to relieve stress and to become stronger and faster in the water.
Another thing that keeps me active is playing basketball. In middle school I was on a basket ball team. We were not that good but we came pretty close to winning a few times, so that was cool. I mostly shoot hoops in my front yard.
 I am also into BMX riding. It is another way to stay fit and active.  The most important thing to know about me is that I love to read and study
Greek mythology.  I have been studying it since two years ago and I loved it ever since.

 Some of the interesting places I have been are Seattle Washington for Christmas and to visit family, I have also beento New Hampshire for the same reason and to go for a family picnic in the summer. Over all I have been to these two places four times in all.

 I have played football even though it was just for fun. I played basket ball on a middle school team. I was on a soccer team in elementary school and I played tennis just for fun. Some music that I am in to is rock, metal, System of a down, Disturbed, rap, Niki Minaj, and Kid Cuddi along  with the drums and the guitar. I play both.

  For the family I have a wonderful mom, an outstanding dad , and a sweet little sister.
Even though we all fight at times we can find the light at the end of the tunnel and laugh on it at the end .
