About Me

INNOVATION, TEAMWORK, GROWTH

We at The Taint believe that the only way to provide cutting-edge musical solutions is to go straight to the source, and that through a combination of efficiency, expertise and in-house networking we can meet our quarterly (and annual) goals financially and personally along the way. Take a look at the following porfolio statistics:
Zach Olsen-aquired the vocals, guitar, keyboard and theremin accounts, increased sales by 50% last quarter
Ryan Winn-General Manager overseeing the Arts and Guitar Dept., revitalized several major accounts last fiscal year
Jake Confrey-VP of Operations in the Bass Facility and systems analysis
Jack Johnson-currently maintaining the Drums division, coordinating production and keeping overhead costs low
