I first got my taste of the art of jewelry making when I was sixteen. I had always been an artistic person, and when I took a high school jewelry making class, I knew that I had found my future. The summer after my junior year I was able to secure employment as an apprentice with a local jeweler. I spent the next few years learning everything that I could from him, up until the time that I left to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

After I returned from my mission, I attended Southern Virginia University (SVU) for a semester, before deciding to attend the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). During that one semester at SVU, I met my future wife, Elisabeth. We were married in the Washington DC temple. While I was taking the Graduate Jeweler course at GIA, my wife worked there as a diamond grader. After I completed my training, I also started to work for GIA. We were there for a year when we learned that Lis was pregnant. Delegating child care to someone else was not the most desirable option for us, so we packed up and moved back to my home state of Indiana, where we could survive on one income. When we moved to Indiana I began to seriously pursue my dream of making quality jewelry for the Latter-Day Saint community.

Making LDS jewelry has been a longtime dream for me, mostly because I have always been frustrated about the lack of quality, adult LDS jewelry, especially for men. The majority of LDS jewelry currently on the market targets teens.  It is mass produced with cheap materials, and is not meant to be anything more than a short-term fashion accessory.  It is my goal and mission to bring a more sophisticated, quality, adult-oriented line of jewelry to the LDS community.  I want to make jewelry that can become a family keepsake - jewelry that not only has aesthetic appeal, but that serves as a reminder of the values and standards that we have made sacred covenants to uphold.

My products are not cookie-cutter costume jewelry made in a factory from the cheapest materials available.  I am a one man operation: I design, make and finish EVERY single piece of jewelry I sell.  This allows me to guarantee that every adornment in my inventory meets my high standards; if I wouldn't wear it, or let my wife wear it, then I certainly will not sell it to you.

Above all, I just want to serve the church and its membership. Five percent of the proceeds from all of my jewelry sales are donated to either the missionary fund, temple fund, or an alternate fund of YOUR choice. I love the church and I love the Lord. I am very thankful for the talents and opportunities that our Heavenly Father has given me. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments or advice that you might have. I want to hear from you, and I want to serve you. Thank you for your service to the church and our Heavenly Father.
