Phillip Stafford is a life-long furniture builder. He’s a new GAL member, a thirty year member of the Craftsman’s Guild of Mississippi, and a member of the Tennessee Artist Craftsman’s Association. He purchased his first ukulele three years ago and became addicted to the “jumping flea.” About to purchase an expensive koa uke, he decided he could build one instead, and started Moonshine Ukuleles. Phillip owns Advantek Machinery, a distributor of high tech CNC machinery. His favorite pastimes are sailing, building and playing ukuleles, and drinking homemade wine, not necessarily in that order.
