Michael Eads
My name is Michael Eads. I have been with Sweetwater 19 years. It has been very rewarding working with different people over the years from the professional touring acts to someone just wanting to have fun and make music in their spare rooms at home.
I got the music bug when my brother had a membership with the Columbia Record Company (back when vinyl was around) and he had a variety of albums ranging from Ray Charles, Temptations, and Bill Cosby. Once I heard that Ray Charles album I was hooked and have collected music ever since.
I started playing banjo when I was a teenager and traded it for a guitar from a friend and have been playing ever since. I have played in a couple of different bands mainly playing acoustic music, blues, country, folk. etc.
I try to present a great working experience with all my customer's so they know that they have a good friend in the music business that will treat them fair and with the utmost respect.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

Michael has been my sales engineer since the mid 1990s. I consider him a friend, even though we've never met in person. He is good people and the reason I continue to buy my music equipment exclusively from Sweetwater.

I would like to just take a moment and compliment Michael Eads. I am a long time Sweetwater customer and have been dealing with Michael for many years. He has always shown himself to be professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. He is definitely an asset to your company and an asset to his customers. I also want to thank Sweetwater for encouraging their employees to be so customer driven. That is something that is very hard to find these days. Anyone can sell audio components but not everyone can keep their customers happy, Sweetwater has managed to do both. Again I want to thank Michael for all his hard work and dedication in making sure that my needs are met.

I have been doing all of my music purchases with Sweetwater and Michael Eads for longer than I can remember. I think that I had to be one of your first customers! For all those years, Michael never stopped being responsive, informative, courteous, friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks Michael and thanks Chuck for caring and for always being there.
