Job Title
President
Company Name
Swing City

Art Risavy Jr. studied business in college and worked in a bank before returning to work in the music store his father had formed just a few years before Art was born. Working alongside his father, Art Sr., he helped the store grow and oversaw the expansion of the church and pro audio departments. Swing City Music is located in an old bowling alley and contains an impressive selection of musical products. The large inventory is by design as Art and his father realize the store is out of the way from the big cities so once a customer comes in they want to have the best chance of having the needed product. In speaking of customer service Art remarked that the key is “paying attention to each person in front of you, because no body else matters.”
