ABOUT SNOW LEOPARD GUITARS
I'm a proud graduate of the Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery, Class of Spring 2026, and I've been obsessed with guitars ever since I strummed my first chord over 30 years ago.
Music has always been a huge part of my life. I've played in gigging bands, written and recorded original music, and spent years teaching guitar lessons. But about ten years ago, I stumbled into something that would completely change my path.
It all started with a Stratocaster that had a truss rod issue. Rather than giving up on it, I traded it toward building a partscaster. That single project opened the door to an entire world of guitar building and repair that I never knew existed. From that moment on, I was hooked.
Over the next several years, I made it my goal to attend Roberto-Venn and eventually open a shop of my own. It took a lot of hard work, patience, and sacrifice to get here, but I wouldn't change a thing. Every guitar has a story, and I genuinely enjoy helping players keep their instruments performing at their best.
Whether your guitar needs a simple setup, fret work, repairs, or just a little extra attention, I'd be honored to earn your trust. My goal is simple: help you enjoy playing your guitar even more than you already do.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I look forward to meeting you and helping you get the most out of your instrument.
MY MISSION
To help every first-time player and child fall in love with playing guitar by making their first instrument feel as inspiring as the music they dream of creating.
I specialize in setups for kids and first-time players. That means easier playing, fewer frustrations, and more fun.
WHY IT MATTERS
Most kids and first-time players don’t quit because they don’t like music.
They quit because their guitar is hard to play.
High strings, buzzing, guitars that won’t stay in tune - these small problems create big roadblocks.
I remove those roadblocks so kids and players can focus on what matters - making music and having fun.
