Struggling to support himself and his family, Don Uyaguari crafts guitars in his small town of San Bartolomé, Ecuador.

In the small mountain town of San Bartolomé sits a small wooden building. Layered between a small dirt road and a gorgeous valley, the building is half workshop, half home. The workshop belongs to Don Uyaguari, one of many guitar makers in southern Ecuador. The rest of the home is occupied by his family - his sons and daughters, their sons and daughters.

Disston launches into his Latin-American adventure in Ecuador.

Some of you may know me, but most of you will not.  My name is Sam Disston.  I’m a pretty outgoing guy and I do well in school.  I’d like to think I’m a pretty normal college student, though I don’t drink quite as much as most. I have been known to have fun every once and a while.
