My inspiration is always love and history, and my passion to a fault is craftsmanship and responsibility. Those are the simplest things. It goes beyond jewelry. It's every part of my life.

My mission in life is to preserve craftsmanship.

It's beyond my control how I'm perceived.

I have always had a sense of curiosity and aspiration.

My friends are a huge part of my inspiration.

It is important to recognize the small successes.
