"My training as a percussionist gives me a first-hand understanding of the positive (and negative) impacts that sound can have. And my summer internship at Acentech furthered my interest in acoustics. Outside of work, I’m a member of a marching jazz band that performs in parades all over New England.”

Ethan’s favorite quote is from the musician Nick Cave: “All of our days are numbered. We cannot afford to be idle. To act on a bad idea is better than to not act at all, because the worth of an idea never becomes apparent until you do it.”
