About Us

I retired from the Army after 32 years in uniform with deployments to Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.  I'm also retired from the local Sheriff's Office, so finally I am now able devote my full attention to what I love.  I teach a week-long class in electric guitar building twice annually at oldest and largest folk art school in America, the John Campbell Folk School.  Living in the mountains of beautiful Black Mountain, NC, I'm a lifelong woodworker with an artistic eye and attention to detail, and I'm committed to making the finest instruments possible.
