I believe a large part of a person’s life is work, and that the best kind of work fills your life with community and purpose. I was fortunate enough to find that kind of work in Lutherie.

I started my career in the buffing & polishing room at Fender, Corona, soon moving to a Tester position. After a couple years I applied for a builder position at G&L in Fullerton and continued my love for Leo’s designs there for the next 8 years. I then wanted to expand my knowledge and applied for a position in the Guitar Department at Eastman, Pomona, where I absolutely thrived for 3 years. Currently self-employed running this small guitar business out of my home in Yucca Valley, I carry the passions that got me here from all those years of experience in guitar making.

It’s a culmination of so many passions that fill me up - a reverence for wood, a desire to create, a dedication to artistry, a curiosity for sound, and many more. I am happy to always be on a path of learning; striving to understand how we create instruments, musical and non- in order to further create and make sensory the world around us.
