About Me

EXPERIENCE

I work alone in all aspects of the building process, with the very best tools and materials.  I have retired from a career of working with my hands and know the value of hard work and craftsmanship.  The skills I have developed over my career have built the foundation of my knowledge for building high quality custom instruments.

My certifications include:

Certified Machinist (NIMS Certification)

Certification in Millwright (Mechanical Technician)

Certification in HVAC (RSES Universal)

State Certification in welding (Electrode, TIG, MIG)

PASSION

I have been playing and repairing string instruments since the 60’s.  I have a passion to build the best sounding instrument, with good bass, mid range, clear highs, and excellent overtones, which gives the instrument tone-color (timbre).

As a musician and craftsman, I enjoy working with people to create a one of a kind instrument just to their liking.  I hope to build yours next.
