I began playing bluegrass at an early age. I started playing guitar at the age of 10. Since then, I have really come to enjoy playing the mandolin.
I have always had a passion for woodworking, but I the challenges of Lutherie excited me the most. In 2012, I studied making mandolins with Roger Siminoff.
After that, I was hooked. Today, I build mandolins with only the finest spruce tops available, mostly Adirondack red spruce. The backs and sides are all highly figured hard maple.
I build mostly mandolins, guitars, and occasionally a fiddle.
I focus my building on players who enjoy bluegrass.
My guarantee is that you will unconditionally love your new instrument. I stand behind this so much that I do not take a deposit at the beginning of each project. I’m strictly a custom builder with no inventory on hand. Depending on the amount of customization involved, each instrument can take up to 6 months to complete,
