Chris Leone’s Summary
I have a BS degree in Business Administration - Marketing and Operations - and a minor in Economics from the University of Delaware. My passion for business and the digital world led me to pursue a career in internet marketing. As an active blogger and social media user, I stay on the forefront of topics such as marketing 2.0, personal branding and social media innovations. I am the creator and editor of drumFunny.com, a music humor blog. I also am the co-inventor and co-patent holder of the sealable article container patent.
I am an avid percussionist and percussion instructor. Prior to joining WSI, I spent time in Japan instructing and performing with Aimachi, regarded as Japan's premier marching percussion ensemble. I have also performed and instructed with the Cavaliers drum and bugle corps from Rosemont, Illinois, including membership in the 2006 DCI World Champion corps. I am currently on the instructional staff for the George Mason University drumline.
