EVAN TRENT

Vice President of Digital Strategy and Technology

Evan has always been a tech geek and a music junkie. These two passions collided forcefully when he launched a startup, Symphony Sound, selling audio equipment to other gear heads online. Subsequently Evan spent four years in strategy consulting, and then went on to wear the head strategy hat at another consumer focused education company. Despite being responsible for School of Rock's next generation digital strategy, Evan spends an awful lot of time in the analog world, playing vinyl LPs and searching for the best sounding vacuum tubes to use in his amplifiers.
