About

My Gear site

I'm a guitarist/ upright bassist/ sound tech/ music store manager living in Northeast Wisconsin. I recently opened the second location of a local music store, and love every minute of it.

Music is my life, and I don't know what I'd do without it. The only thing I love more than my Gretsch is my wife Heidi, and my son Gretsch Adam. I'm always looking for new opportunities with my sound company, band and other musicians.

Current Gretsch list:
Electromatic 5120 with Aluminum Compton bridge and GFS Surf 90s.
Electromatic 5129 with Bigsby Comp bridge, Dynasonics.
Electromatic 5124 stock.

Americana Showdown,
Americana Sundown Serenade

Other gear worthy of mention: Gibson SG Special with GFS Mean 90s, Cremona SB-3 3/4 upright bass, Kapa Continental with stock Hofner pickups, Peavey Classic 50 2x12, Orange 2x12 closed back with Vintage 30s, Ampeg Reverberocket R50-H with matching 4x12, and many more guitars that aren't worth the space to type.
