Eleven-year GAL member John Cross started building in 2003 when he decided foolishly he could save money building a guitar over buying one. Other hobbies include boomerangs and reorganizing his shop at least once every guitar (sometimes more).By day he is a manager for a team of oilfield chemists and engineers in Alberta, where he lives with his wife Katy and two sons. He builds guitars and the occasional ukulele at a pace that makes snails feel good about themselves.
