I love to make jewelry. I love thinking of where each piece might go and what occasion it might be for. The idea that it could be passed down from one generation to another is a wonderful thought. But what I enjoy most is that I've brought a symbol of love into someone's life. To be a part of that is truly wonderful.

I learned from my Father and remember watching him work when I was young. I remember casting sessions with him in a cold garage and working along side him at the bench and will always treasure those days.

Today I do all my own casting, polishing, setting, and design work (Dad still helps out on occasion!). Some of this work is done starting with traditional wax. I also use CAD software and 3D printing technology for some designs. Tools and techniques in this field are always improving, and my shop is keeping up to date so that you receive a quality piece that can be cherished beyond the metal it is made of.
