I’ve been playing, repairing, and otherwise tinkering with guitars since I was about 8 years old. I grew up right here in Portland with a vibrant, musical family, then went on to study music performance at Portland State and Northwestern University before moving back home.

I have worked both independently and in guitar shops, and have been exposed to a wide variety of repair and restoration situations. What keeps me coming back is a love for music, these instruments, and a love of growth. I firmly believe that we are never done learning, and am constantly refining my approach and methodology with regards to appropriate repair techniques.

I maintain an active performance schedule, and know firsthand what it means to have an instrument be truly gig ready. While it’s possible to create amazing music with a less than ideal instrument, we owe it to ourselves and our listeners to set our instruments up for success. Whether that means a simple restring, or finally refretting your beloved guitar from high school, I’d love to help. Reach out today and let’s figure out how to get your guitar/bass/mandolin/banjo/you name it sounding its best.
