Greg German is an artist by training, (a Medical Illustrator to be more precise.) He graduated from Baylor University with a B.A. in fine art, and from UT Southwestern with an M.A. in Biomedical Communications. This led Greg to a job in Ames, Iowa at Engineering Animation, Inc.  At EAI Greg did medical animation for pharmaceutical ads and anatomy CD-ROMs for a while until the company started producing games. He became a character animator and modeler on games for Warner Bros® and Hasbro®. He also started building furniture. After relocating to Colorado, Greg took a job at the Art Institute of Colorado teaching computer animation. His interest in building musical instruments grew stronger.  Soon afterward Greg became an apprentice in Edward V. Dick's repair shop. Edward and Greg now collaborate to produce the Victor Guitar line of steel string flattop guitars.  Greg also build his own line of guitars and invites you to visit his website, 'German Guitars'.
