I was raised on a farm. the same
farm I now live on, complete with
cows, chickens, goats, and a very
friendly donkey.
During my life I have always had a
hobby of woodworking, building
tables, chairs, book cases, and
other wooden furniture. I have also
played the guitar from a very early
age.
I spent over 25 years of my life
climbing the corporate ladder at a
flavoring and perfume manufacturing
factory.

I took an early retirement and moved to the Appalachian mountains where
I started an Internet Provider company, a computer company, and a parts
supply store. All of these were later sold and all but one of them
still survives after many years. I have also worked for the Department
of Defense as a sub contractor doing electronic and software
engineering.

After moving back home to take care of my aging parents, I began
building guitars and also owning 3 different sawmills. I have sold the
sawmills and now I build guitars full time with the help of my wife of
33+ years. I am a blessed man with a loving wife and a married daughter
that is expecting to make me a grandfather soon. God has blessed me
throughout all of my life and I give him the praise for all of my
success. I am a member of the New Harvest fellowship Church in
Hilliard, Florida where I play lead guitar in the praise and worship
services.

When I started building guitars, it was because I had studied and read
everything I could find on the construction of the acoustic guitar
already and spent countless hours of reading web sites that pertained
to the construction of guitars. It was aslo with my wife's blessings
and the favor of God that I began this journey. I also went through a
guitar building school to learn more of the basics of building guitars,
and I feel that has leap-frogged my career to where it is today.

Some of the guitars I have built have been for professional players,
but most of them have been for people that just love a good sounding
guitar at a reasonable price. they are made by hand, in a converted
garage that is now heated and air conditioned and built one at a time
with the minimal of power tools. I do not have laser cutting machines
for precision cuts and robots to put the parts together. They are made
with my own hands. If you are looking for a laser cut perfect guitar, I
am probably not the person you want to talk to about a guitar, but if
you want a GREAT sounding guitar at a reasonable price, PLEASE email or
call me and lets talk about building the guitar of your dreams.

Thanks for reading!
