Portland, Oregon. USA
Started in the professional jewelry business 2 weeks after my 16th birthday, and I’m now in my 43rd year, still going strong! I’ve been fortunate all these years to have been able to sit alongside several dozens of gifted and talented individuals in all regards, always being the best student I could be, striving to glean the highest levels of thinking and execution. No one knows everything, and my constant pursuit of higher knowledge + thinking, expressed through my hands keeps me young at heart.
