Wildwood People Partners Mike "Spumoni" Manetas and Brooks Otis opened the Wildwood Music store in 1974, spinning off from what was to later become Wildwood Banjos. After three decades, Mike and Brooks have made Wildwood Music one of the leading music stores in the Pacific Northwest, and the musical heart of Humboldt County. September 2004, the Wildwood torch was passed on to 15-year manager Sean Bohannon and 3-year employee Errol Previde. Errol recently bought out Sean. Perhaps what is best about Wildwood staff is that we each take music seriously, but not ourselves. Each one of us gigs locally with bands and/or as soloists. Some also teach private and group lessons; most of us are multi-instrumentalists.

The Founding Fathers of Wildwood are Brooks Otis and Mike "Spumoni" Manetas.
