Here’s another mold-breaking Banjo Builder. Jan didn’t follow a conventional path in life (he’s educated in specialties he doesn’t really practice on a daily basis). But fortunately for our Old-time Community, Jan has decided to settle into a career of building quality instruments (both banjos and fiddles). Just ask Performers Dan Gellert (fiddle) or Frank Lee (banjo).

Oh, he’s also into motorcycles, canoes, huskies, etc.
