Ty Heimann
Long before I was born my grandpa started a music store in my hometown. Growing up I always wanted to take over the store because I just loved being surrounded by music gear! It ended up going out of business before I got the chance, but one of the things that drew me to Sweetwater was their code of ethics. Like a small music store, Sweetwater prides itself on doing the right thing to get the customer the right product and to help them make music they love.
I have a bachelors degree in Audio Production from Ball State University where I did studio recording and audio for video. I also have experience playing guitar, keys, bass, drums, Ukulele and trumpet in bands of all different genres, singing in choirs, running live sound/lighting, and I was a DJ for about 2 years.
With my accumulated experience, I am confident I can help you with whatever your audio needs may be. I would love to hear about your musical journey and help you reach your goals.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.
