I have been a musician ever since I beat guitar hero as wee little lad. Starting at the age of 12 I played guitar, bass, and sang (yelled) in various rock bands, with my heart set on becoming a rockstar. This included packing up my civic and moving from Maryland to Houston, TX with nothing but my guitars, amp, and a singular suitcase full of clothes to join a band and take my shot at making it big.
My experience gigging around and self recording, mixing, and mastering all of my projects taught me a ton about everything that goes into being a modern musician and set me up perfectly for a career here at Sweetwater helping people find all the gear that they want and need to succeed. My favorite thing in the world is geeking out over music with fellow musicians, so give me a call and we'll work together to satisfy all your gear needs, then have an in depth discussion about how Australians are finally bringing back real punk.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.
