One of the best periods of my life was working at a small, independently-owned musical instrument store where I grew up. Working there barely paid any bills, but the connections I had with the local community were invaluable. Every day, local musicians and other friends of the shop would stop by and we’d all just talk gear. All day long it was gear, gear, gear combined with discovering new items I never knew I always wanted.

The 11th Fret is my way of staying connected with you and the rest of the community, but on a much larger scale. I can talk gear with you, share my knowledge, learn from your own experiences, and continue to grow personally and professionally until the day I inevitably take my one and only dirt nap.
