Sam Catania holds a BFA in Trumpet Performance and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering at UW-Milwaukee.  In addition to Trumpet, he studied piano and pipe organ.  He also studied degrees in music composition, philosophy and has received paid commissions for his original works for film, concert band, symphony orchestra, and various solo works.  He has served as principal trumpet in several professional orchestras and currently sits as principal trumpet in the Lake County Symphony Orchestra.

Sam currently works at Leonardo DRS, Naval Power Systems.  His role as a lead electrical engineer has given him the experience of working on Naval ships, designing and maintaining ship power supplies and motor controls, as well as many other duties.

Sam has been interested in technology and engineering his whole life and experimented with another startup company  he co-founded called Kardashev One.  The goal with Kardashev One is to design a fully autonomous delivery system that is as easy as a plug in and play modular system.  This drove him into founding MUSX because of the very similar technology.

Sam has a passion for music and engineering and wanted to combine the two and formed MUSX in early 2019.  His vision of the company is build up a new concept for theatrical composition, provide a link to people interested in Tesla technology, and develop new technology.  His goal is to invent a large plasma arc speaker that is able to have the quality of high end speakers but also produce more than 50 ft arcs of visible electricity.

Sam serves as the lead engineer, composer, and safety technician as well as the CEO of MUSX.

Outside of MUSX, you will find Sam on the mats as a blue belt in Jiu Jitsu.
