I have always been interested in music, instruments, and instrument repair. In high school, I bought used trombones, repaired them, removed dents, cleaned them, and resold them. When I was in high school I also went to my local recently retired piano tuner with my Papa in Northeast Iowa and learned some of the basics from him. After that, I worked on fixing up my home family piano. I started at Wartburg College in 2019 and studied Music Education for 2 1/2 years. Then I started working at Menards (Home Improvement Store). While working at Menards I bought a used piano. I got back into learning tuning and repair with the help of an online course called the Piano Technician's Academy- Piano Tuning and Repair Course. Currently, I am tuning pianos and improving my skills every day.
