For 13 years I represented professional audio manufacturers in Northern California, Western Nevada, and Hawaii. I helped my clients find the best solutions for their audio needs, always focused on how technology could push collaboration, performance, and exhibition past the state of the art. I was a technical product lead, an in-field support specialist, a sales manager, and eventually became second in command at one of the Bay Area’s most highly respected rep firms. Our team grew revenue for our dealer network year over year, and during my tenure our largest manufacturer saw our regions’ sales triple in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a rep was challenging and rewarding work. I called on hundreds of clients, worked with dozens of contacts at our various manufacturers, and most importantly was mentored by and became a mentor to some of the best people in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a collection of photos that give a glimpse into the life of being an audio rep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
