Transmutation

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. Before I could even play, I was drawn to instruments, tinkering with them just to see what they could do. After years of begging, I finally got my first electric guitar at 15, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I joined a band, but after one show, the leader kicked me out when a local DJ showed more interest in me than the rest of the group. They never played again.

Determined to stay connected to music, I left high school early, earned my GED in 11th grade, and took a job as an orchestral repairman at Brook Mays Music in Dallas. At 18, I was surrounded by instruments daily, learning the craft of repair and deepening my understanding of sound. I later studied music theory at Collin College in Plano, Texas, refining my skills even further.

Life got busy, and for a while, I put my craft down to focus on family. But as my kids grew and needed less supervision, I found my way back to music. These days, you can find me playing again, rediscovering my passion. When I’m not making music, I’m often running a buddy’s food truck at festivals around Colorado and Utah, soaking in the creative energy of live performances.

I’m currently living in Evergreen, Colorado, where I continue to reconnect with the music that has always been a part of me.
