Guitar teacher who co-founded Fons by MakeMusic. Into startups, music, books, marketing & PNW 🌊

An encouragement to middle age white people panning Kendrick… internalize the fact you don’t know his music because you’re old and haven’t been curious about culture since Nirvana released Nevermind and your mom broke your 2 Live Crew cassette with a hammer in front of your friends at a sleepover.

When I left for college, Mom turned my room into her self-help library. All the classics filled my bookshelf. I came home for the holidays & read titles like 7 Habits after my folks went to bed. That’s when my lifelong curiosity for personal growth & developing positive mindset began. Thanks Mom!❤️

Hello! I’m looking to connect with other Xpats(loved Twitter & loathe X) I’m a PNW classical guitarist who started a tech company for music teachers that was acquired by MakeMusic. Want to connect with startup founders, musicians, educators, and kind, thoughtful folks.(guess that makes me woke?) 🌊

I co-founded Fons to help music teachers like myself run their studios and feel confident about business. Over two million lessons have been scheduled and paid for through Fons. Helping thousands of artists achieve sustainable incomes by improving cultural literacy in their communities feels good.

Nine years ago today Huck and I went on the safest walk imaginable. Cannon was a once in a lifetime dog who showed up when the kids were small. I rarely leashed him, he’d stay within a few feet of Huck and Edie anywhere we went. He was a consummate gentleman and babysitter. #germanshepherd

The thing I miss most about old Twitter was the cohort of entrepreneurs sharing journeys, insecurities, experiences, wins, losses, roadmaps, marketing, wisdom, and encouragement. Running a business is often difficult and lonely. I look forward to connecting with other SaaS business leaders here!

Hello! Jumping in here. I once loved Twitter,(built a startup from knowledge I gained there) moved to Threads, curious to explore the scene here. I build software that helps musicians dial in their teaching businesses so they can enjoy their creative lives. Love this emoji 🌊
