I have made the world a louder place! In my 15 years of partnering with musicians in pursuit of their goals, I have contributed to thousands of individual stories of creative achievement. I have served customers in every level of MI retail, having gotten my start in a wonderful family-owned shop in northern Washington and gone on to manage multiple locations of the world's largest MI retailer. Now, at Sweetwater I have the opportunity to directly consult with thousands of musicians, creators, business owners, and industry professionals. In a broad sense, the MI industry is the business of empowering people to express themselves which is the approach I have always taken with my customers. This outlook has led me to top performances in sales and leadership positions but the greatest compensation has been the chance to share in the joy and achievement of my customers and friends.
