Adrian hails from the Bay Area of California, where he started his career as a DIY touring and self-published musician, and amateur guitar technician. As the pandemic halted live music altogether, he decided to explore his passion for guitars further. An old touring friend suggested Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery in Phoenix, Arizona. While there, he earned his Certificate of Luthiery.

After attending their guitar building and repair course, he decided he would rather fix what is already here than build new guitars. From there, was recruited by Woodsong’s Lutherie, and joined the team in 2021. Adrian now enjoys working on all manner of stringed instruments, but especially enjoys helping working-class, touring musicians.
