John is the former owner and president of Muller Pipe Organ Company. After decades of guiding the company’s growth, he has passed day-to-day ownership and leadership to the next generation while continuing to serve as a senior advisor, mentor, and hands-on resource within the company.
Introduced to the craft at the age of 13 by his father, Robert, John worked part-time until graduating from college. He studied trumpet performance at Bowling Green State University, where he met his wife, Jane. Though he explored other professions early on, John found that organ building suited him best. In 1986, he expanded the company’s presence into central Ohio.
John enjoys the hands-on aspects of the work, and mentoring others in the shop. He finds great satisfaction in the complex blend of craftsmanship and music. Although he has passed the torch to the next generation, John remains active in the company.
Outside of organ building, he enjoys sailing, gardening, and taking long walks with Jane.
