I have been at Humbucker Music for three and a half years now. Chances are if you've contacted us in that time we've probably spoken on the phone, or through email.  My main "duties" if you would call them that, are mostly sales and processing your orders. I enjoy my job immensely and can say in all honesty it is a pleasure to get speak to so many different people from all corners of the world on a daily basis. With so many great products on the market it is a great time to be in the music retail industry. As with all of us here at the store I like to collect as much gear as I can get my hands on and I have owned a lot over the years.

For guitars, I must admit that I am more of a single coil guy (Oh, the irony!). I love Teles, Strats, any thing with P-90’s and a Gretsch hollow body thrown in here and there.  For amps I love pretty much everything Dr.Z makes. Right now I am playing a Maz Jr 18 NR Combo with a Celestion Blue and G12H30 extension cab (ran closed for extra punch!). I also love Vox AC30/15’s, mid powered Fenders and Oranges. For years, I was a “guitar-cord-amp” guy, but in the last year I have started building a pedal board. I had no idea what was missing! Right now, a basic layout of  my board is:

Guitar  -  Tuner  -  Barber Tone Press  -  Barber Trifecta Fuzz  -  Fulltone OCD  -  Fulltone Fulldrive 2  -  EHX Worm  -  EHX Memory Man  -  EHX Holy Grail Plus  -  Dr. Z Maz 18 Jr NR 1x12 w/ Alnico

I have to say, I am pretty happy with the layout, but it is really never finished. Lately I have become pretty enamored with fuzz pedals and I see a Zvex Fuzz Factory in my future.

Call anytime, I always enjoy chatting about gear. I can be found in the shop almost any day of the week. Otherwise I am on the golf course, and prefer you would not call me there (unless you have an important fuzz / Dr.Z / Orange / Delay / Compressor question).  Actually call anytime!
