After a long bout pursuing an MBA trek in the business world but growing increasingly involved as a Seattle WA area 7-string Jazz guitarist, idealogue and organizer of music events, Michael opened Sound Island...a new type of store specializing in sound reinforcement for the acoustic musician.

Sound Island brings many exceptional acoustic music amplification products under one roof. The community of Jazz, Classical, Latin and Folk players can now audition world class brands with their own instrument in a quiet, comfortable setting assisted by a fellow musician with ears for the genre. For those who live far from the Seattle area, Sound Island is only an email or telephone call away. Same friendly and caring service.

When not helping Sound Island's customers...or jamming with them...Michael is usually either playing his wonderful Bill Moll custom archtop or volunteering on a special project for the SJGS (Seattle Jazz Guitar Society), a local 501c3 non-profit corporation dedicated to the advancement of guitar Jazz in all its forms. Michael also helps organize Jazz Jams for a local Middle and High School where students gain experience playing in small combos often alongside local pro players.
