I like there to be some interest in every element of my life.

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.

I'm an American searching for some sort of parameters, a way of life - I'm looking for a slight formality, for a place where you can never be overdressed.

My mission in life is to preserve craftsmanship.

I create with my heart, so life and work inevitably intersect all too often.

I like the pause that tea allows.
