I've played violin on and off since the 70's.
In 2003 I started buying old trade instruments from the late 1800's and early 1900's and restoring them.
In 2014 I started working part time as an apprentice in Tampa Florida.
I made my first violin in 2015 and my first viola in 2016, and since then I've been building handmade violins and violas.
I moved from Florida to Michigan in 2026 and continue to build handmade violins and violas.
I also build ukuleles and I do restoration projects and repairs on violins and violas.
