Music has been a passion for me ever since I was twelve years old. My favorite genre of music is Rock/Metal, and has been a huge inspiration for my entire career in music!
My love of Rock and Metal genres naturally lead me to gravitate towards learning to play the drums. I have now been a drummer for a little over a decade and I have even branched out to learning guitar! I earned a degree in Music Technology, which helped me find a passion for all kinds of gear!
My goal is to help a musician accomplish the goals they have set for themselves, and offer guidance on milestones to make their musical journey easier. As someone who has been in your shoes, I hope to provide knowledge and expertise that will help you learn, grow, and most importantly, have fun.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.
