Why I'm Here

In 2017, I retired after 33 years as an executive in a fortune 50 corporation.  I had collected a few guitars over the past 15 years or so, but I had not taken the time or made it a priority to learn how to really play the guitar.

One of my goals upon retirement was to make learning the guitar a priority.   Now I have sold most of the guitars I previously owned and upgraded across both acoustic and electric guitars.  I own several wonderful acoustics from Ryan, Collings and Bourgeois as well as a classic Martin D28 Marquis and some one of kind PRS private stock and Knaggs.  Electrics include several Nik Huber, PRS Private Stock, as well as Fender Custom Shop classics.
