Kenny Plisco
I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA to a sports loving family. My mother is tone deaf and my father cannot keep a beat, so I wasn’t exposed to music until high school. There, I found my passion for playing guitar and writing music, and soon found myself doing small gigs and leading worship.
After my freshman year at Penn State-UGA studying architectural engineering, I decided to transfer and pursue a worship leadership degree from Huntington University. After leading worship full-time for two years, I started working for an AVL integrator as a systems designer. There I was able to merge my engineering mind with my love for live music. For three years I was able to help churches, schools, restaurants, and other organizations to achieve their visions for the audio, video, and lighting needs. This was incredibly satisfying, and now I get to help you achieve your goals when it comes to gear.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

Interview with Kenny...

Kenny Plisco WAS the difference. He guided through the selection processed and generously shared his knowledge and experience to help me make my purchase decision.

I have use other companies for purchased products in the past and it felt just like a transaction, no follow-up, no how can I help you understand the product better, nothing. Sweetwater was a complete 180, when it comes to customer service and follow-up after the purchase. Kenny took the time to explain the difference between products and if the item wasn't available he would help you find something that would satisfied your needs. Very honest and it felt good to feel respected as a customer.
