The Maker

Writing an "About Me" has never come easy for me—I’ve always preferred to let my work speak for itself. But here’s my best shot.

I've always been drawn to working with my hands and staying active. In my early 20s, I spent seven years as a Wildland Firefighter, a career I thrived in. Being out in the woods, protecting our forests and people’s homes, was deeply fulfilling. However, after meeting my future wife, I realized the demands of that job placed too much strain on relationships, so I decided it was time for a new adventure.

Wanting to continue helping others, I went back to college and earned a Bachelor’s in Nursing. During that time, I began exploring jewelry making as a hobby. A few years in, my passion for jewelry grew, and I was fortunate enough to apprentice under an incredible Master Goldsmith.

After completing my degree and earning my RN license, I made a life-changing decision. Jewelry was my true calling. I also wanted to be a stay-at-home dad, and this path allowed me to pursue both. That was ten years ago, and I’ve been running my custom jewelry business for the past nine and a half years without looking back.

I believe jewelry should reflect the individual—it’s more than something you wear, it’s something that tells a story. I strive to make each piece extraordinary, tailored to the person who will cherish it.

My expertise spans hand-fabrication, CAD design, casting, lost wax techniques, stone setting, and many other aspects of jewelry creation.
