During the summer of 2005, near the banks of the Lamare River in southern France, I built my first guitar under the guidance of luthier Thomas Knatt. For me it was not only the discovery of an amazing craft, but also of a passionate yet immense challenge I have since embraced.

Over the years I have deepened my understandings of tonewood, honed my handtool skills, and refined my process of handcrafting visually and acoustically beautiful classical guitars. To be ever learning, ever striving is my personal goal and I am deeply grateful to pursue it through this traditional art, and to share it with you.
