The Bassmint Dayse HeadingThe
"One Sunday in 1992 after morning church
service the pastor asked me if I'd be interested in learning some bass and joining the church band.
​
That very day, against everything I knew about remembering the Sabbath and keeping it holy, I began working on a project that would essentially lead to the end of my working days and make me an artist."
It was a Monday in 1992 and I was a sophomore in high school when I took my first guitar project to school. Reluctantly my shop instructor allowed me to work on my guitar during class.
While my peers worked on birdhouses and clocks I was showing up to class with boxes of parts from Stew-Mac and making jigs to build my first guitar. It was the first time in my life that music and woodworking had found a harmony with each other. I knew instantly it was my calling.
​
My first attempt at building a guitar was a flop and my mom even told me not to quit my job just yet.
