Music Business
My background includes several years of accounting experience at Fortune 500 companies, most recently as a sales accountant at T-Mobile USA. I primarily worked with very powerful accounting systems such as SAP and Hyperion Enterprise. While at T-Mobile USA and PACCAR Inc., I was recognized for my expertise in database management, financial analysis, research & auditing, forecasting, budgeting, and overall effeciencies in process management. I earned a four-year degree in business administration from the University of Washington ('99). I am extremely well versed in financial analysis, database management, data mining, and financial modeling.

My areas of interest within the music business industry include tour management, artist management, live show event management including post production for mixdown to DVD, CD, and/or other emerging formats, contractual agreements, royalties, publishing, studio ownership, and many more.
