Sam Crittenden
Director of Data and Research
Meet Sam: Born in the cornfields of Northern Illinois, Sam shucked his agricultural roots for the trombone at the age of nine. After graduating from the University of Michigan with a degree in Jazz Studies, he moved to New York City and has spent seven years building a career as a touring musician, educator, and arranger. The only thing he enjoys more than playing music with his friends is building a well organized and detailed spreadsheet, a passion he’s thrilled to bring to the ArcArtists team.
