My training is in art, music, electronics, and teaching. I now study art and jazz, and design original reflections of my earliest memories, of an optimistic era of radio, industrialism, the space race, and vintage vacuum tubes. Combining mid-century elements with both older and newer technologies produces a wide range of retrofuturistic audio devices. I also reflect much further back in time with late 19th-century steampunk-inspired creations.
I design hand wired, original circuit boards with the same pure-analog circuitry as the audio technology of the late-twentieth century, an era of revolutionary music recordings and high-quality consumer audiophile products. My affordable audio equipment competes sonically with contemporary consumer electronics, while combining craftsmanship and design to create a relaxing, vintage ambience. I also strive be eco-conscious, using repurposed and salvage materials, and petroleum-free wood stains and finishes.
