stycos has managed independent music stores and was the Director of Pro Audio Sales for Guitar Center Inc. (responsible for $500M in business) as well as owning recording studios in L.A., N.Y., Boston, and Miami. When not preening his studio tan, you’ll find him climbing a glacier or paddling whitewater anywhere from Kyrgyzstan to Mongolia to your back yard (keep the gate and your refrigerator locked).
