Dan Vuksanovich '93 Merges Music, Information Technology and Problem Solving
After receiving his MBA in 2010, Dan Vuksanovich '93 decided to perform a strategic "resources and capabilities" exercise, identifying a unique combination of expertise: music, information technology and problem solving.

According to Dan, the site is "vastly different from other sites offering guitar lessons...I'm using myself as a musical guinea pig and letting everyone in on the experiments."
