My family has always been more sports oriented and more intrigued with outside activities rather than the musical arts.

       Hello my name is Stanley Waters, I am a student athlete at the lovely Converse University. I have been a tennis player the majority of my life with very little musical experience.

I am glad to be here at Converse and it has been an absolutely wonderful decision that I made.     ...
