"Born in Oxford in 1966, I started my bowmaking career at the age of thirteen working after school for an ex- W.E. Hill & Sons maker. When I eventually left school, this lead to a full-time apprentiship.
I have worked extensivley in America, gathering much additional knowledge of repair and restoration from my friend and colleague, Greg Gohde who was taught by William Salchow - amongst others.
I moved to my current home of
Little Bourton, Banbury in 2002.

I'm a member of the British Violin Making Association
