Rob Parker
I joined the Sweetwater family with a long history of music and audio experience. As a customer of Sweetwater for over five years previous to my employment, I always did substantial research and comparisons when I made any purchase. When you purchase a piece of audio equipment or an instrument, it is very personal. You need something to help express your voice and that is something near and dear to any artist. As someone who understands this, I will treat your purchases as if they are my own. I want you to buy with the confidence that you will be getting the full extent of my knowledge and advice so that you can be assured that you are making the right investment for your own personal needs.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

What was your occupation before coming to Sweetwater?
When living outside of Nashville, TN, I ran a studio out of my residence and managed to be quite successful, catering mostly to the bands who couldn't afford the more costly facilities downtown. My first musical "gig," however, was a music composer and sound designer for a small video game design company based outside of Raleigh, NC.

Technical strengths:
Recording technology, keyboards/synthesizers, guitar, bass, and audio software/computers.

Piano, synthesizers, guitars & bass, and I can play drums...until a real drummer is next to me.

Other stuff we should know about you (hobbies, talents, interests, etc.):
If I am not doing something music related (which is rare) I am most likely reading or spending time with the family. Apart from music, astronomy and marine biology are big interests. Retro gaming is another past-time of mine, as I was once involved in game design long ago.

Rob has a wonderful enthusiastic attitude and has always helped steer me in the right direction. If need be, he'll go the extra step to make sure I understand the full process of new equipment with step-by-step connections, etc. No one better!

Absolutely amazed by the personal service on our order! It is obvious customer satisfaction is a priority. Your company would be the first place we would look for music related items. Great prices, great service and BTW, even the little touch of adding some candy made my kids very pleased! Thank you!
