You've heard him mentioned, you've seen him on our social media (@waves_serves), and now you can hear his story. This week we welcome Mark Israel (aka Izzy) on Waves of Awareness! Izzy recently joined the Employment and Community First (ECF) program with Waves and has already made a huge impact. In this episode we have our hosts, Trent Denson, Matt Moore, and Marci Cohen join the conversation and chat with Izzy about what led him to this career path. Izzy wasn't always working in this field, he used to be a part of the music industry- on the road and making your sound dreams come true. He even shares his favorite memory from that time of his life (we dare you not to laugh), before diving into the deeper meaning behind why he joined Waves. Don't miss out on Izzy's impactful words and melodic singing voice. Waves is grateful to Izzy and all of our staff who make the time to commit to a great cause and community that needs support.  This podcast is made possible through partnerships with Spread the Positive, TN's Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, and the Community Foundation of Middle TN.
