Dan Kabanuck was born and lives in the San Francisco Bay area with his wife of twenty-one years and his three boys ages seventeen, fourteen, and four. He took up the guitar at age twenty-nine, and in short order he was playing in a popular metal band. A real estate broker by trade, changing times landed him at LMI in 2007; he soon had several guitar projects in the works, and he’s helped build eleven ukuleles. Though he has no desire to be a full-time luthier, he wants to build instruments others would want to own.
