I am a Registered Piano Technician and a member of the Austin Chapter of the Piano Technicians Guild. I have been tuning and servicing pianos since 1976 and have worked in the Austin area since 1981. I am a former staff piano technician at the School of Music at The University of Texas at Austin, having retired from that position in January of 2007 after 15 years of service. At the School of Music, I was responsible for the tuning, maintenance and rebuilding of approximately 95 grand and vertical pianos, many of them Steinways.
I hold both Bachelor of Music Education and Master of Music degrees from East Texas State University, now Texas A&M University at Commerce, and was a member of the Music Faculty of Texarkana College in Texarkana, Texas.
I have attended factory seminars sponsored by Steinway and Yamaha, where I received advanced training in piano service. I have also attended numerous state and national seminars and conferences sponsored by the Piano Technicians Guild, Inc.
Since my retirement from The University of Texas at Austin, I am working as a full-time independent piano technician in the Austin area, specializing in the rebuilding and reconditioning of grand piano actions and damper systems, in addition to the tuning and maintenance of all types of pianos.
