In 1999 I left my home state of Conn. to attend the fall 2000 class at the Roberto-Venn school of Luthiery in Phoenix,AZ. There I studied the fine art of guitar construction and repair. The school is a five month course which requires the completion of one acoustic and electric guitar. The last month of the course is dedicated to fretted instrument repair situations and techniques.

In the summer of 2000 I moved back to Conn. where I opened a small repair shop for a few years. in 2003 Ii had the opportunity to move to Fort Collins,CO. and apprentice under master luthier Michael Bashkin of M.A. Bashkin guitars. There I apprenticed for nine months, studying Michael's theory and approach to acoustic guitar construction and stringed instrument repair. I also worked as a repair technician for a local music store during the final months of that year before returning to Conn. Thanks Michael!

In the fall of 2004 I moved to the small town of Stow, ME where I am the soul proprietor of WolfSong Guitars. Dedicated to providing fully functional works of art. I strive to perfect what I feel to be the three essential aspects of a great guitar... Playability, Tone & Beauty. I also keep an active practice of stringed instrument repair and restorations.
