Here’s what you need to know.

Well hello there! Thank you for taking a minute to come over and get a little nosey. We totally get it! You want to know who these goofballs are….at least we hope you do!

First off, we are Jay and Heather Balcerek. We have been together since 2008 and married since 2012. We live in Clearwater, FL. We have 1 fur child named Stella. 

Anyway, together we have a love for all things fun, food, and travel. We have been on over 15 cruises, out to Vegas 5+ times, Nashville too many times to count, Panama City Beach, Destin, Orlando…you get the picture. If there is fun to be had, good food to eat, and a night away from home, we are IN!

But other than all that, who are we?

Take it away Jay….

Well I grew up in a small town in Western PA about 40 miles southwest of Pittsburgh PA called Mt. Pleasant. Yeah you probably never heard of it, but thats OK. So I got out of PA in the mid 90’s and began to really chase my dream of playing drums for a living. I toured around the country playing in hotel lounges, bars, casinos basically wherever the bands I played in were booked from Anchorage Alaska to the Florida Keys and everywhere in between. It was a blast traveling… But after being turned down by record labels and all that I came to the realization that drumming for a living was not gonna cut it.

So I ended up getting off the road and moved to Huntsville AL. I swallowed my pride and got a real job building aircraft windshields during the day and drumming on the weekends with several bands around North Alabama. So when I’m not doing the day job or playing a smoky bar on a Saturday night, Heather and I are off on our next adventure. You’ll soon learn that I’m a pizzaholic and enjoy craft beers and a hand crafted cocktail. Hopefully we can show you all that good stuff and more so stay tuned.

Since we moved to Clearwater, I’m back on my drum throne as a full time musician playing around the Tampa Bay Area.

You’re up Heather.

Man it’s hard to compete with that. I’m one lucky lady!

Here’s a little about me. I was born and raised here in north AL. I have lived there almost my entire life, minus 1 year that I lived in Nashville and now in Florida. I haven’t traveled the country as much as Jay but I have been to Italy and Paris.

Anyway back in high school, I was in band from 5th grade to graduation. I played trumpet, french horn, and was on the color guard. I’m a certified #bandnerd. I guess that’s how I ended up with a drummer for a husband. While in college, I started working in the wireless industry and haven’t left since. I have been in sales, management, training, marketing, etc for various companies since 2003. I love technology but I still write my grocery list on paper.

If I’m not at work or somewhere with Jay, I enjoy a good book and cup of coffee. I’m looking forward to getting to know you more as we journey together.

Well, that’s about it. If you have any other questions, you can ask. We may answer…we may not. HA! If you can’t tell, we are a bit sarcastic too. It’s all good fun.

We moved to Clearwater, FL in September 2020. We are exploring the local beaches and restaurants to bring you all the info you need to know. 

Cheers!

Heather and Jay
