Brian is a musician who has worked with Jonny Copeland, Bobby Radcliffe, Bunny Domino and others.  He was a founding member of BBQ Bob and the Spare Ribs and produced their first recording.  He came to woodworking by experimenting with a more ergonomic design for basses to alleviate periodic bouts of tendonitis.  

He learned the basics of woodworking from master carpenter Joe Guida (Guida Woodworks, Flagstaff, AZ,) during the course of building his first prototype.  Since then, he improved his skill by trial and error and getting advice from the master wood workers at IsGood WoodWorks and Ballard Woodworking.  In 2020, he started Miller Basses and produces about three uniquely designed basses each year.
