Madison Store
Josiah Rankin
Madison Store Manager
josiah@davesguitar.com
Originally from St. Louis MO, Josiah started spending his summers in Wisconsin in 2016 to work for an uncle. After a short stint as a professional photographer and a trip to the Galloup School of Guitar Building he joined the Madison shop in 2019 splitting his time between a
few different roles. In preparation for his retirement Mike Turk worked closely with Josiah to prepare him to manage Dave's in Madison, passing down timeless lessons in customer care, dealer relations, and most importantly connecting with people. When he's not in the shop you can
find him either hunting, working on his own acoustic restorations, or rebuilding turn of the century vintage shotguns.

To say Ethan grew up at Dave's would be an exaggeration, but not by much. Even before Ethan played guitar, he would visit the shop with his dad who has been a longtime customer, and since picking it up himself he's bought quite a few guitars from Dave. Ethan is still wrapping his senior year of high school while working part time at the Madison location. While it's great to have him part time we simply cannot wait to provide him a full-time sales opportunity when he's ready.
