My mom is the heart of Toledo hospitality—feeding everyone like family and cheering louder than the band itself. She let me chase my drumming dreams (even when it meant endless noise at home!) and supported me when I moved away to pursue music. She still shows up, from local shows to cheering me on at the Grand Ole Opry. She’s silly, strong, and endlessly selfless. To me, she’s not just Toledo’s Top Mom—she’s Top Mom, period.
