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 as an apprentice with a luthier in Tampa Florida. I made my first violin in 2015 and my first viola in 2016, and I've been building handmade violins and violas since then.
I've moved from Florida to Michigan in 2026 and I continue to build handmade violins and violas in my workshop in Michigan. I also build ukuleles and I do restoration projects and repairs on violins and violas.
