Mike Bulboff, with a background in keyboard, began playing the accordion at the age of 17. It became a hobby which led to starting his business, Liberty Bellows in 2009. Mike says he likes the accordion because “The accordion is an instrument you really connect with: You wear it, you feel the reeds moving and you become part of it.”

Mike is a Princeton alumnus and received his Master’s Degree from the Wharton School of Business.
