Thanks to a Let’s Talk Guild meet-up in Nashville, Tennessee in April 2013, I was privileged to spend an unforgettable Saturday with George Gruhn.
I design and build acoustic guitars. Each instrument is created to be a unique visual and sonic experience. Where a factory may faithfully produce a given model thousands of times, every guitar I make is intentionally distinct. I have written several articles that acknowledge, explore, challenge, and at times defy traditional steel-string acoustic guitar convention.

Spending a week with master luthier Kent Carlos Everett was a career-altering event, as it took my guitar building to a whole new level.
During Christmastime of 2012 I was able to spend some invaluable time with master luthier John Greven in his shop, at his home in my hometown of Portland, Oregon.
