Originally from Penfield, NY, Dr. John T. Morrison's musical journey began on the surface of his his mom's hassock.  His parents quickly tired of the furniture abuse which prompted the 11 year-old boy to purchase a snare drum and cymbal. 

Forty years later, John's enthusiasm for playing continues.  He has played for clubs in Florida-based bands such as Tymes, Hollywood, and Cassanova, which included studio work, overseas performances and TV appearances. 

Following a full-time, musical career, he started a computer company in 1989 (Morrison Computers), which he closed in 2000 in order to pursue educational aspirations.  He earned a Master's Degree in Corporate Communication and Technology from Rollins College, and a Ph.D. in Instructional Technology from the University of Central Florida.  Since 1999, Professor Morrison has worked for Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida and continues to play drums for Central Florida audiences.
