I build bass guitars.

The bass gives me an outlet for a side of me I never actually thought existed. I've never really thought of myself as an artist.

Woodworking has been my lifelong passion, and I put all of my experience into building my basses. While perfection is unattainable, I obsess over every detail of construction to build the finest instruments my talent will allow.

In my brief career as a soundman, I fell in love with the bass. In time, I realized what made a bass sound best in the mix. I think I have found that sound while developing a beautiful solo tone as well.

All this combined with my newly discovered artistic side has resulted in a series of basses that are the most beautiful, most comfortable and best sounding basses I can create.
