Jeffrey Green
I am a professional sales engineer, musician, composer, and theorist who is involved with and continues to be fascinated by a vast array of music, audio and the technology utilized in producing and listening. I have performed on my electric cello in contexts ranging from raves to classical recital halls, clubs to festivals. The infinite universe of music and technology continually fascinates me, and often manifests itself as a profoundly spiritual experience. Over my 20 + year career, it has been wonderful to assist (and learn from) my clients in realizing their dreams, and I take this very seriously. Being able to work at a company with its primary emphasis on customer service and support, coupled with such a diverse group of creative customers, has been a blessing. I look forward to being of service to my clients for many years to come.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

After combing the local phone book yellow pages for 'Recording Studios', I called Sweetwater and was told there was nothing in the studio, but they were hiring sales engineers. I decided to give it a shot, and found I enjoyed it. Over 20 years later... I still do!

With the tremendous help from my shipping manager, we sold, supplied, and loaded an entire container of equipment for a church in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Trying to coordinate all the details was an immense amount of work and effort for us and the customers, but everything worked out!

Jeff Green has, without any exaggeration, been my go-to for all things musical for years. When I need musical advice on products or even if I encounter problems, he has yet to steer me wrong. Because of the awesome customer service, I don't shop elsewhere.
