As a millennial still in the tech industry, Conrad brings a contemporary style to professional communication.

In his free time, Conrad is a musician. He writes, records, and plays live music for bands in the San Francisco Bay Area. In the office, in the studio, or on stage; he is no stranger to high pressure scenarios that require confidence and the right amount of stage presence. Many of the techniques that help him on stage – an understanding of context, preparation, practiced error recovery, and the ability to take a moment when it is required –  also guide him professionally.
