FULL BIO

A true "Renaissance Man," I've certainly been around the block a few times professionally. Over the years, I managed the technical support department at a musical software company, was a lead salesperson with a major musical instrument merchant, even worked at an advertising agency (that's what I went to school for). I also spent over 5 long years successfully managing a chain video store.

As an ASCAP songwriter and publisher, I've successfully released multiple music albums (www.dinwithin.com, www.second-story.net), created several web sites, and established my own project recording studio.

My background in musical instrument sales, tech support management of music software, web development/content management, and my advertising degree made me a perfect fit for joining Gollihur Music, which was first established by my father, Bob over a decade ago.
