Meet Your Sales Engineer

Zack McCord

It was about 10 years ago that I first picked up a guitar and realized that playing music was something that I would love for the rest of my life. Throughout high school I pursued guitar playing and began recording to hear my progress as I went. After a few years of recording guitars I wanted to do more.

I attended Western Michigan University for Multimedia Arts Technology and earned a Bachelor of Science in audio engineering. I had the opportunity to work in a commercial studio on campus and really refine my craft. I've also performed guitar, drums, bass, and vocals on others' records. During my stay at Western I recorded and self-produced my own record which explored genres anywhere from folk to metal.

I am honored to be a part of the Sweetwater team and help customers achieve their musical endeavors.
