chapter one · college
Two friends who wanted a happier world.
Hobby Tribe began in college with two friends and one slightly ambitious idea: make the world a happier place. Hobbies seemed like the best place to start.

chapter two · the first lesson
A hobbyist picked up a guitar and started sharing it.
Joshua Salins, a lifelong hobbyist, began teaching guitar, keyboard and singing to friends and family. That first student turned out to matter more than anyone expected.

The story is still being written.
