I started out on the assembly line of an electronics company and have since held such titles as Director of International Sales, Artist Relations, Public Relations, Purchasing Agent, Media Buyer and General Manager for some of the industry’s most popular brands. In 2003, the Musicians Institute acknowledged me for my commitment, generosity and excellence toward the school and music education. Come 2006, I was honored as one of the "40 Most Influential Under 40" by Musical Merchandise Review and by 2008; I was selected to the Presidential Advisory Board of the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM).
