After being seduced into music by Jimi Hendrix and the blues and later jazz, country and pop, I wanted to make my guitar feel and sound better. My curiosity about music and guitars led to much tinkering and experimenting on my own instruments.

While pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Music at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, AZ, I apprenticed under luthier Jerry Korkki at JK Guitars. Jerry has over 20 years in lutherie, and has made custom pieces for Jeff Skunk Baxter and Bert Campbell of Toucan Eddie, among others. During this time I also played a lot of gigs (somewhere around 500…) doing modern and jump blues, hard and post bop, big band jazz, classic and modern rock and made a full length CD with Sancho Clemente, a college dance latin funk rock band.
