Why and How I Started Ragtime Piano Service

Once I retired from the U.S. Air Force in 1997, I decided it was time to learn what's on the other side of the keyboard. I wanted to find the answers to these 4 questions:

1. What makes a piano play?
2. What does it take to make a piano sound great?
3. Why doesn't a piano work sometimes?
4. How can I share my love of music?

In 1997, I was employed by Prosser Piano and Organ Company, learning basic tuning and regulating skills in the shop. In 2005, I decided to start my own company, Ragtime Piano Service. The ragtime composer Scott Joplin was the inspiration for my company's name.

My Experience and Credentials

I became an associate member of the Piano Technicians Guild (PTG) in 1998. In 2013, I passed 3 exhaustive PTG exams to receive my credentials as a registered piano technician. These tests required me to prove my

• Knowledge of piano history and technology
• Technical skill at repairs and regulation
• Expert-level tuning

I have served my local PTG chapter as secretary, vice president, and president.

Maintaining Pianos in the Community

Hire me to work on the piano in your home, office waiting room, theater, concert hall, or meeting area. Call 253-278-9337.

I also tune in educational facilities. I have tuned previously at Pacific Lutheran University and the University of Puget Sound. I currently tune in the following school districts:
  • Clover Park in Lakewood
  • Bethel in Spanaway
  • White River in Buckley
  • Federal Way (high schools)
I also tune for concerts, seasonal programs, and ensembles.
