Bio
Chris has been making or building things - all kinds of things - from boyhood. Typical of boys who grew up in the 60s, Chris began making model cars and airplanes from an early age. By the time he was a teenager, cars had become his main preoccupation.
As a child growing up in Kansas, Chris found that he took after his Grandpa Red, a heavy equipment mechanic who possessed an innate and finely-honed ability to build and fix things. With a broad grasp of the world of tools and how they work, and having been blessed with very fine hand skills, Chris has been able to conceive of — and build — just about anything he thinks of. When he met his wife, a lifelong guitarist, he wondered if he could build a guitar for her, and the answer was... of course!
Why does Chris build guitars? Because he loves the instrument, and he loves wood. It's that simple. And if you're wondering about the Cobra in that picture...yes, he built that too.
