I’m a lifelong music nerd who started learning repair work in the early 2000s and never stopped. For over 20 years I’ve been doing setups, fret and nut work, electronics, and general maintenance for my own instruments, friends, and local players, steadily turning that experience into a focused repair practice. My background as both a real estate agent and a teacher shapes how I run the shop: I care about clear communication, realistic expectations, and helping people feel confident in their decisions. Whether I’m dialing in your main gigging guitar or getting a beginner’s first instrument truly playable, my goal is to combine solid craftsmanship with a patient, educational approach so you always know what was done, why it matters, and how to get the most out of your gear.
