Summary
I attended Galloup School of Guitar Building and Repair for the six-month Masters Program, focusing on Acoustic and Electric Guitars. I then began and remain at Gabriel's Guitar Shop where I work as an independent contractor to repair customer's guitars, basses, banjos, mandolins, and a variety of other stringed instruments. Several days per week I independently manage the shop by opening, closing, answering the phones and working with customers.
