The Keeley Electronics Team

“I try to design sound effects that allow you, the guitar player and composer, to emote through your music. I put the timbre in your twang.”

Favorite part of working at Keeley: “Honestly, the best part is watching people grow. I love watching people buy cars and homes, grow their hobbies, earn degrees, and in general build their dream world.”

What do you do for fun? “When not road-tripping or watching murder mysteries with my wife Lisa, cooking would have to be one of my favorites. Cooking without a recipe is like improvising a piece of music; I like combining tastes and flavors to make food chords with spicy harmonies on top – and it only lives that one time.”
