Nick Pasquino
Being raised by a drummer, music was a huge part of my upbringing. From a young age, I was trying my hand at as many instruments as I could, whether it was drums, bass, guitar, or keyboards, I just wanted to play everything. Due to supply and demand from other musicians in my hometown, I ended up playing drums in a couple of different bands throughout my middle school and high school days.
In the midst of these groups, I began recording all of the groups that I played with, instantly falling in love with the entire process. I couldn’t get enough of it. Watching a song going from a simple idea to an intricate production was fascinating. So, once I started looking around at different colleges to attend, the Multimedia Arts and Technology program at Western Michigan University was the perfect fit. Going to school to learn about recording technologies seemed like a dream!
This led to great experiences working in recording studios and live sound venues around Kalamazoo, Michigan. These opportunities have built up a skill set that allows me to bring my knowledge to the Sweetwater team. With a deep passion for music, learning, and helping others, it is my pleasure and main focus to bring the joy of music that has deeply shaped my life to as many musicians and creators as possible.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

My experience with Nick was awesome! I am happy with the choice I had made after talking to him. As I told him, I will be in the market for a new microphone in the coming months. Maybe 2 depending on my needs. Thanks for the service and help. I had spoken to a friend of mine and he is a customer as well. I told he should have told me about Sweetwater sooner. :-)

Nick was quick to contact me to personally thank me for having purchased with Sweetwater. It was a pleasant surprise to have received the call (and subsequent email), and it truly made it feel like a more personal experience, knowing that there's someone who will be able to answer any further questions I may have in the future should I have any.

Great experience. Nick rocks it out as an engineer. He was very helpful throughout my purchase. From the time you reach the front reception area to the time you finish loading your gear everyone was pleasant and had a smile on their face. The world needs more Sweetwater. Thank you all
