I have been an artist for nearly forty years. I have shown my work in Dallas and Austin, have won awards and sold numerous pieces of artwork ranging from sculpture to paintings. Having worked as a carpenter, musician, professional model builder, master craftsman, antique restorer and building engineer, I believe I have derived the most satisfaction from repairing and restoring stringed musical instruments.

I began my adventure in instrument repair nearly thirty five years ago in North Texas mainly because I am left handed and ended up having to convert a right handed guitar to suit my own playing needs. I have repaired and restored everything from bouzoukis and bajo sextos to violins, cellos, upright basses and harps, not to mention numerous guitars of all shapes and sizes. For four years I handled all of the major repair work for One World Music in Austin and have since relocated to Elgin.

I want to offer my services to the people and musicians of Elgin and surrounding areas. Why go to Austin and be without your guitar for weeks when you can bring it to me and be playing again in no time without paying as high a price?

I now have a storefront at Kingfisher Fine Art & Music at 116 Depot.
