| In Minnesota I began playing the piano at age 7, studying classical music as well as ragtime which always thrilled my father. After a focus on physics and mathematics at the University of Colorado, in 1986 I made a surprising gear switch by calling a local piano restoration workshop after my piano tuner tuned my piano. At this shop I was taught refinishing and tuning. I opened my own workshop shortly, jumping headlong and fearlessly into the industry. Belly and action restoration soon replaced refinishing as my focus, I hired a refinisher, and my first complete piano restoration workshop was born. After several years I moved my operation in1991 to Nairobi, Kenya, due to my interest in long-distance running. In 1996 I returned to the US, choosing Seattle as my new home, where I wanted to dig deep roots and build something solid. Opportunities came to deepen my knowledge by spending time in the highly respected piano factories of Steinway USA and Sauter, Germany. After several years, I took my passion a step higher, gathering and training a team of specialists to create Northwest Pianos, a unique piano company in the Pacific Northwest. |

I want to write you personally and tell you what a wonderful job you and your team did on the piano. Both Greg and I are in awe that we have such a beautiful instrument, both in sound and looks. We definitely attribute this to you and your team. You took something old and in need of sprucing up and we couldn’t be more pleased at the final outcome.
I sit down almost every night and play. We had company right after we got it but they were family and know of our love for the music and were just as thrilled as we were to have this in our home. I sincerely could not think of any piano I would enjoy more in my home; this is truly the best. Again, thank you so much for the wonderful work you and your team did. I couldn’t have asked for better. You were also very considerate and understanding of my concerns and I would highly recommend your team to anyone who asks.
