Biography:

I'm a self-taught mandolin maker and have been building mandolins and guitars of my own design since 1999 in workshops in the US, Canada and the UK.
I was lucky to serve as sole apprentice to archtop guitar builder Bob Benedetto in Savannah, Georgia building more than 60 of his great guitars such as the Manhattan, Cremona and Sinfonietta models.
Currently I'm building around a dozen instruments per year in my small workshop on Vancouver Island.
