Introduction	In essence I'm just a die-hard guitar and music enthusiast with technical skills! The year I entered high school I met what would become some life-long friends. We started a band. It really went nowhere... you know the story. But that same year was when I bought my first electric guitar - an Epiphone Sheraton. The moment I walked in to that music shop and saw it there, I decided I had to have it. I took an after school job washing crusty dishes for a catering company, and walked each paycheck up to that store, signed the back and handed it over. None of my pay was cashed until months later when I left with that guitar. I still have it, and wouldn't trade it for any other. Following a few years of technical training, I decided to join the army as a mechanical engineer. After a twenty year career of training and travelling, I can't help but think that I should have been playing more guitar! With a vast array of technical skills, I switched gears and applied it all to what I started on those weekly walks to that music shop. After a period of outstanding mentorship with some highly talented Luthiers ~ and a new tool box ~ I love these instruments more and more each day!
