Allan and I worked together at Fine Sounds Group for 3 years. I can describe him is one statement - Allan is the Swiss army knife of leaders. His career has spanned various roles within the industry’s top luxury brands, he has been managed by top executive leaders and managed top sales teams, and has managed the top luxury retailers. He never stops learning and is a goldmine of information about the latest product releases, competitive stats and always finds creative ways to turn customer conversations into selling opportunities. We had countless opportunities to run scenarios by each other and in each discussion we discovered new and interesting ways to approach difficult situations and find amazing solutions. While Allan is more than capable of leading from the top, he chooses to lead from within and not only show his teams what they can do but how to do it and what to expect. He is a collaborative leader and co-worker willing to lend an ear for support and offer a helpful opinion where necessary. His triple threat roles of sales leader, brand manager, and product evangelist have earned him a strong reputation among his leaders, his customers, and his coworkers. He is an experienced businessperson who will make a tremendous addition to any company.

Allan has been an extremely supportive business partner and friend for many years. His professionalism, product expertise, and passion for the exquisite musical instruments he represents are second to none. Allan has always aligned himself with quality and understands that an investment in luxury is most often predicated on the emotional desires of the individual wanting to make the purchase. With his understanding of music, sense of personal refinement and natural musical gifts, he can evoke these emotional connections not only in potential buyers, but in those who sell his products as well. He makes it fun to deliver music and movie experiences that have a way of staying with you long after the event eagerly yearning to recapture it. If you have the chance to work with Allan, he will share these skills with you and your team, helping you to and your clients to both profit from the experience. I highly recommend Allan.
