Biography
Joel earned a studio arts degree from Bethel College in St. Paul Minnesota. Joel sees art in many forms. The “sound” he has refined has come after tedious trial and error. Joel’s attention to detail, experimentation with bracing, and working with numerous tonal characteristics has contributed to what has made Joel a sought after Luthier all across the United States and Canada.
Joel credits his time with Master Luthier James Olson as a turning point in his career. Since then, Joel has created guitars that have a comfortable, “old friend” feel to them.
