I have been fascinated with rocks since I could walk. The collection grew and grew over the years. In Boy scouts I would go geode hunting often. It was not until 2016 that I got re-inspired to collect as a side hobby. I started studying the different types of crystals and gems that make up the world. In 2017 I begun hitchhiking around the United States, always running into other rock-hounds and jewelers. Eventually on my journey, fate had brought me to the largest Gem & Mineral show in the country where I was awe-struck by the diverse cultures, jewels, and artforms presented. That is where I began studying the Art of wire-wrapping or wire-weaving. Since then I have expanded my skill set and techniques to create Jewelry that expresses the inner geometry of the crystal structures and other organic patterns.
