I started my musical journey at 13 by playing the guitar. I absolutely fell in love with playing and creating music, it has been the only hobby that has been a core part of who I am. I recently, within the past 6 years, picked up the bass to add that extra dimension, and inspiration to my song writing. Most recently however I have been really into home recording, and I have enjoyed the process of taking an idea and letting that grow into a full fledged song. I have had the pleasure of playing with other very talented musicians in a band setting, and that experience really opened my eyes to when it's important to let another instrument take the focus.
My customers will benefit from me because I have a wealth of information to share, and I am always excited to make people happy. I am looking forward to being an integral step in a musicians journey. I can also empathize with some of the common struggles up-and-coming musicians may encounter.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

Why did you first apply for a job at Sweetwater?
I applied for Sweetwater because I had such an amazing experience talking to my Sales Engineer. I called in looking for something to capture my rig quietly and Josh really took the time to explain the different options available. This whole experience really left such a positive impression on me that I looked up to see where Sweetwater is located and if they were hiring. Without hesitation I decided to move to Fort Wayne to be a part of the Sweetwater family.
