I've been selling/maintaining guitars, basses and amplifiers at Apple Music for over twenty years. I enjoy working with beginners, home hobbyists and pros as well. After playing guitar for over 45 years I still have a passion for quality instruments. In my spare time I climb mountains and collect books. I speak a little French.

I might not be the youngest, but I know a little about gear. I’ve been playing with guitars and synths for many years . When I started out, synths were monophonic and we recorded on tape. I love playing with guitar synth, effects and computers.
