About Me

Hi, I'm 29 years old and live in Exeter, England. I work as a guitar tech for Mansons guitar shop where I repair and set up stringed instruments of all kinds. I've had the pleasure of working on guitars for the stars like Matt Bellamy, Kelly Jones, Martin Barre, Steve Howe, Seth Lakeman. I also make guitars as a side project. The love of my life, working with wood. I've recently been on tour working as a guitar tech or "Roadie" for Steve Howe from Yes/Asia. I love music in all its forms. From Jazz to Rock, Classical to Dance. I play bass guitar in a band. (Cassette Generation) Check out our myspace. You may like what you hear. I generally just love life and meeting new people.
