Store Manager

 Expertise: Movies specifically DVD’s

I have been working in the music business since I was in high school. I have NO musical abilities of my own so I felt working in music stores was my way of contributing. I worked for many companies that are no longer in the music retail business (Record Theatre (Upstate NY), Blockbuster Music, Wherehouse Music, & Turtles Music) before coming to Manifest in 2004. After graduating from the University of Memphis, I was transferred to Charlotte.
