I have been a jeweler for over 6 years, I picked up the trade in Mexico doing repair in my brothers shop. After high school and several mondane job titles, I decided to follow my heart and become the best jeweler I can be, I attended the California Institute of Jewelry Training for about 7 months and have also been a instructor assistant and have cut my teeth in the repair business that last few years,Everyday I learn something new and exciting in the jewelry/design field. I am presently working as a marketing rep. for CIJT and get to meet a variety of people that are interested in becoming jewelers, My passion for jewelry makes this a very exciting position. Of course I love other things like sports and entertainment, history is another of my interest, I like art and am an eager student of art periods.; http://www.jewelrytraining.com
