Tad Shaffer
I have had a passion for music for as long as I could remember. I was involved in church at a young age. Was involved in sound and playing on the team. During that time I have had extensive hands on experience with live sound situations and recording.
Since that time I have had extensive experience recording myself and friends throughout my teen years. Playing guitar in bands and projects.
I have recorded in many studios and have done studio work in Nashville.
I have a passion for serving and doing everything I can to make sure you get the gear you need.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

Interview with Tad...

Tad is extremely helpful answering all my questions and patient with me on things I am no expert on. Sweetwater is a class operation. My ten year old always likes to see a Sweetwater box on the porch because he knows there is candy in there! Thanks for the service, good deals and fast shipping. Don't change a thing.

My Sales Engineer, Tad Shaffer, went the extra mile by carefully checking the fit of my keyboard case and offering to take photos of a demo unit. I did my homework and made comparisons and was convinced that Sweetwater offered the best value. My thanks to the Sweetwater team!
