Job Title
VP Operations
Company Name
Music Go Round

Tim Kletti is a passionate music maker who has played guitar in dynamic rock bands most of his life. He has found his dream day job as Vice President of Music Go Round while still playing energetic gigs on nights and weekends! His passion came simply by being exposed to a wide range of musical styles growing up and having an insatiable interest in exploring the playing techniques of his musical heroes. A critical moment for Tim came in 1976 when the band Kiss performed on Paul Lynde’s Halloween television special. With a quest to play music as often as he can, Tim first landed day jobs at Guitar Center and Schmitt Music in Minnesota, which were important learning experiences for him and served as the foundation for his role at Music Go Round. Entrepreneur Ron Olson established a retail store dedicated to used instruments called Music Go Round in 1993. The following year, Tim was hired in the first of a chain of stores in Rosewood, Minnesota. As the company grew, so did their concept of franchise ownership, which allowed Tim to play a valuable role in the corporate office overseeing the operations side of the business. When he is not in the office, chances are Tim is still out there playing and loving every electrifying minute.
