CHELLEE

I began working on my own guitars in Florida in 1996 when I started hanging out with my brother at a local repair shop where he worked. He and the other guys at the shop began teaching me setup and fret work and started to give me clients' guitars to work on under their supervision. By 1998 I was working there full time and had also built two solid body guitars of my own design. In 2000 I married the love of my life, Chellee, and moved to Phoenix, Arizona where I attended the Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery. We returned to Central Florida in 2001 where I continued my guitar work. In 2003 I built my first Chellee branded Model One guitar, and built several more before finally opening up my own shop in Debary, Florida in 2007.
