     Born and raised in Eunice, Louisiana, I developed an interest in Cajun music in the early 1990's when my father decided to learn the Cajun accordion. Before long, I was learning alongside him, and soon found myself playing accordion and guitar at local jams at Savoy's Music Center and D.I.'s Cajun Restaurant.

Music was always a part of our family. My father, the nephew of late Cajun accordion pioneer Sidney Brown, developed an interest in accordion building and eventually went to work for Larry Miller at Bon Tee Cajun Accordions in Iota, Louisiana. There, accordions, tit fers, rubboards, and spoons were built by hand. Watching that process left a lasting impression on me and planted the idea that one day I would like to build a rubboard of my own.

Life eventually took me in a different direction. I developed a career in metal fabrication and later settled in South Texas, where I continue to perform Cajun, Zydeco, and Swamp Pop music as one half of the duo Boudreaux & Pousson.

More than twenty years after first being exposed to instrument building, I found myself needing a rubboard of my own. Unable to justify the cost of buying one, I decided to build it myself using the fabrication skills I had developed over the years.

What started as a single homemade instrument, quickly became an ongoing project. As both a player and a fabricator, I began refining the design, experimenting with materials, and solving problems I encountered with existing rubboards. One area of focus was improving the rigidity of the shoulder straps without adding unnecessary weight. Over time, those refinements evolved into the designs that would eventually become PPC Fabrication rubboards.

Today, every PPC rubboard is built with the same mindset that started the journey: create a durable, well-crafted instrument that I would be proud to play myself.
