Sam has been involved with music ever since he learned to walk. From an early age he picked up many instruments and evolved within different genres, including studying classical oboe for over 10 years. At this time he also picked up bass, drums, and guitar. Sam also grew up playing in local bands in the DMV punk scene. These contrasting worlds of classical and punk music brought versatility to Sam's musical career. He then went on to study Music Business/Management at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. During his time at Berklee he learned the ropes of live events & tour managing while having the opportunity perform with orchestras & world renowned acts such as Dream Theater. After graduating from Berklee, Sam moved down to Nashville, Tennessee to begin work in the touring industry. Sam currently tour manages HARDY.
