Tom Maxwell
Hi, my name is Tom Maxwell. In 2008, Sweetwater moved me from Florida to Fort Wayne, IN because they recognized my passion for music and audio, and felt I would be a great fit as a Sales Engineer. Turns out they were right! Since joining the Sweetwater team, I've been having a great time working with my customers to help them find solutions, improve their sound, increase their productivity, achieve their goals, and have more fun with their music and audio related pursuits. I had quite a bit of experience in recording, performing, and running live sound before coming to Sweetwater, and working here has given me even more opportunities to learn everyday. My goal is to treat people kindly and fairly, offer informed advice and opinions on audio, and to give my customers the best possible experience with Sweetwater.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.
