About

Andrew is a Certified Piano Technician (CPT). He received his piano tuning and repair diploma from the Piano Technician Academy. He stays up-to-date on all things piano by being an active member of the Piano Technicians Guild.

The song Chariots of Fire inspired Andrew to begin piano lessons. At the age of 10 he accomplished his goal of playing it in recital. Andrew enjoys spending his spare time practicing to play for his local church Alathea Baptist.

Andrew's interest in becoming a CPT began at sixteen when he discovered he enjoys working on pianos as much as playing them. He is passionate about his profession as a CPT and committed to offering great tuning and repair services.
