I'm a guitarist, vocalist, and studio engineer, but more than anything else I'm a technology geek. Give me a call and I'll be sure to steer you in the right direction!
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

I dealt with Mike Conyers and I was totally satisfied with him. He's very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He answerd any questions I had, so I felt confident about my purchase. Thanks Mike.

When it comes to customer service, I have not found any company that can match Sweetwater. My sales engineer, Mike Conyers, does what few sales persons do. He actually LISTENS to my explanation of needs and goals and he discusses details and offers informed advice. Sometimes he'll say I have to check on that and get back to you. I trust a person who doesn't claim to know everything about everything. I have purchased a Sweetwater Creation Station, RME UFX and numerous microphones and accessories building a wonderful recording studio. I have put together a live performance system (Bose LII's with QU-16, Neumann kms 105 and other mics and accessories). I can't list all the equipment I have purchased from Sweetwater. When I need/want to expand on my systems, I will research the possibilities and my first call will be to Mike to confirm my findings and/or to offer alternatives and good reasons why he feels they will meet my needs and goals. I offer a sincere thank you from a very satisfied customer.

I don’t know how or where to begin. Mike Conyers has been a beacon of hope and guidance while navigating the modern day dilemma of finding the right piece of gear in an overwhelmingly massive sea of options. I really love talking with Mike. He feels like an old friend that understands all of my random requests, questions and quirks. He’s always a pleasure to talk to because I know he’s invested in my happiness and satisfaction while never making me feel badly for not understanding something or for the plethora of questions I have. Mike was so excited when he got his Harmony Silhouette that it was infectious. I did my research and ordered one for myself. I am so happy that I did! I love this new guitar so much, especially knowing that Mike has the same one! I can’t wait for my next purchase with Mike!

Even ordering something as simple as a pair of headphones, Mike Conyers was a great help. He told me about the products that matched my budget as if I were his top customer. Mike displayed amazing proficiency and knowledge, not only on the technical aspect but also on each specific product. I appreciate his help and honesty and will definitely go through Sweetwater for all my audio needs!

Mike is extremely knowledgable and gained my professional trust by spending time with me regarding my specific situation. What is most important is the amount of time and patience he has taken with me. This has been a slow process due to my family issues, but Mike has continued to treat me like a customer that spends thousands of dollars. I will continue to use Mike for my growing music purchases and will freely share his contact information with confidence to others that have music equipment needs. Mike has my highest recommendation and I can't thank him enough for his effort and guidance.
