He was a Renaissance man and one of a few people in the world that had a special talent in repairing, restoring and refinishing antique music boxes, player pianos, orchestrions, antique clocks and other antique mechanical and musical pieces. He was well renowned for his meticulous attention to detail and took on many restoration projects for various museums and private collectors from around the world.
