Pat Walsh
Hey! Thanks for checking out my bio. A bit about me…
I have been a musician since as far back as I can remember. Picking up the guitar around 10 years old after spending time with violin and piano. That was the tipping point for me.
Through guitar I would begin to perform and experiment with recording. I would later go on to study the recording arts and being working for different local studios as an engineer and musician. Through all the recording I would go on to do I would take up the drums, bass, jump back behind the keys and even find my way through various other folk instruments.
Prior to Sweetwater I would spend time not only in the studio, but also working with churches and schools assisting in various sound and lighting needs. I also find myself working a lot these days outside of Sweetwater on a number of video projects, serving as everything from audio guy, lighting gaffer, to videographer/cinematographer.
I am here to help serve your needs at the highest level across all audio, video, and lighting. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to work with you and look forward to doing everything in power to ensure you have the best experience possible!
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 at Sweetwater because I loved working in music retail and in my mind Sweetwater is the big leagues. Being able to talk about amazing gear and technology with people who are just as passionate as I am is amazing, like a kid working in a candy store. I really love being a part of people’s music, getting them excited about gear and helping them shape their sound.
