Meet my inspiration:
My dad!
Growing up, I was inspired by my dad, who played guitar and sang at home and on the radio at a Country an Western Station in Selma Indiana. While I learned to play, I found more excitement in taking guitars apart and improving their playability. After studying under Master Luthier Dale Unger in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, formerly of the Martin Guitar Factory, I began helping others with guitar maintenance and customization. Over the last ten years, I’ve worked on hundreds of guitars and basses-starting as a hobby, flipping guitars, and eventually becoming a full-time technician. Now, alongside my wife Jodi, the business owner, I focus on all aspects of guitar care as the “master knob twiddler, gauge guru, string winder, and fret polisher." Check out our 400 plus videos on YouTube and you'll see, You’re in good hands!.
