Jon Krempel
Hi! My name is Jon Krempel. I have been consumed by music since the age of 7 when I sat down and played piano for the first time. Piano is still a huge part of my life. I play and lead worship at my church, play for many wedding ceremonies each summer, and also tour with a contemporary band around the Midwest. I have had extensive training and experience with various audio and recording technologies. I use these experiences to direct my customers towards the best possible solutions to fit their needs. Sweetwater gives me a great opportunity to continue my career in music. I continue to learn and gain experience that ultimately benefits the great customers that I work with everyday.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

Interview with Jon...
-
As always, Jon was great. Especially so in this case because this was a preorder that took a REALLY long time to arrive. Jon arranged to place the order on my credit card rather than PayPal so it wouldn't get canceled every so often. Jon also kept me up to date on the status of the order. I have been using Sweetwater for years because of the personalized service I receive from Jon. It's like ordering from a friend rather than just a company. I appreciate it.

I would sincerely like to thank Jon for all of your help with choosing out my equipment. I am now using the Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 and all I can say is wow.. Such an amazing product, I love it! This has been the most awesome experience I've ever had shopping online and I would love to consider using Sweetwater for all my music/audio needs! As a matter of a fact as soon as it's possible I will be purchasing my monitors within the next month! So once again, thanks Jon I look forward to doing business again very soon!!

I have been purchasing from Sweetwater for over five years now and Jon Krempel has been my sales engineer for the entire time. He is exceptionally helpful and I always feel extremely well taken care of both during the purchasing process and after - he even calls to make sure everything I ordered is working out okay for me. Just a great experience overall, which is why I will keep going back to him and Sweetwater for all my music equipment purchases.
