A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away . . . in Tampa, FL . . .
As a very young child, I started taking out my mom’s pots and pans in the kitchen and “playing the drums” with her wooden ladles. I also started singing along with my favorite songs and hitting the right notes without ever learning the how or why of it all. As I got older, I started picking up guitar, bass, and keyboard and even graduated from pots and pans to a real drum kit! I was self-taught and still didn’t yet understand the how or why of everything that went along with the music and gear itself. I landed gigs in a couple of different studios in Tampa (Morrisound Studios/Audio Lab Studios) and became fascinated with how everything worked. Eventually, after learning as much as I could from as many people in the industry as I could, I started my own studio and production company, but I still wanted more!
All that led me to the doorstep of Sweetwater Sound. My company motto at my old studio was, “You dream it. We create it. Together.” and that’s what Sweetwater is all about! My passion is music and everything that comes with it, and SO IS YOURS! With that in mind, I am so excited to help you and thousands of other artists find the right gear to fuel their dreams!
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

I wanted to do something different than anything I’d done before and work for a company that was different from anywhere else I’d worked before. What I loved about Sweetwater was their dedication to always doing the right thing.
