About the Artist:

I am an American artist/craftsperson born (1942) and raised in Seattle. I have a broad background of experience of "the road less traveled" kind including
being partially raised in boarding schools and children's homes, lived 3 years including summers at the now infamous Briscoe Memorial School in Kent, Washington,
and 13 months at the Stubblefield Children's Home in Walla Walla, Washington, attended about 15 different schools counting colleges.

Joined the U.S. Army the day after my 17th birthday (October 1959), stationed in Germany at Ayers Kaserne in the 36th and 46th Armored Infantries 10 miles from
where Elvis was stationed, he left one month after I arrived, 31 months of training tougher than boot camp (1960 -1962), only had 2 overnight passes in three years,
the only upside being I got out two years before the Viet Nam War started, also worked in 12 casinos in Reno and Lake Tahoe (1965).

Was a hard core hippie dropout through the 60's and 70's (still am) in the San Jose/Los Gatos area, peace marches/demonstrations, S.F. Winterland Auditorium
concerts every weekend for years, got to see Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Doors, Buddy Rich, John Mayall with Peter Green, early Fleetwood Mac, all the S.F. groups,
and 100's of other groups for the astronomical price of $3.50 for a triple bill concert, went to the Monterey Pop Festival (1967) and the Altamont Festival (1969) (big bummer).

Decided I couldn't work for the "Evil Corporate System" so dropped out (1966) (much easier to do then than nowadays when most everybody's brainwashed)
and became a craftsperson out of economic necessity, not out of any artistic impulse, last and longest job within the "System" was for 7 1/2 months
making bucket seats for the 1966 Mustang at Ford Motor Co. in Milpitas, CA just outside San Jose.

Lived on the G.I. Bill ($100-$120 mo.) when going to college (philosophy/psychology major), was a candle maker (1970 - 1972), calligrapher (1973 - 1975),
and acid etched jewelry maker (1975 to present), been living in Thailand 18 of the past  24 years, employed and lived with 28 hill tribe people
(Akha and Lahu refugees from Burma) for 5 years in Chiangmai, have had 2 shops at the local Night Bazaar (1986 and 1990), and 3 different bars (1991 and 2008 to present).

Took up Muay Thai kickboxing at age 48 for four years, one professional fight on my 52nd birthday (George Foreman eat your heart out, win, three round decision,
my opponent was 23), for which I earned a big $4.00, probably the oldest westerner (farang) ever to have a professional Muay Thai fight in Thailand,
(Guinness Book of World Records where are you? this ain't tiddlywinks you know!), also was the boxing announcer 4 nights a week for 3 years at a local boxing venue.

Took early retirement at age 62, been taking it easy since then, opened a live music club in September 2008 which I can't afford to support
and am now trying to sell, learning to play drums, going to a really amazing jazz club 4 to 5 nights a week, generally living the good life.

Product history:

My jewelry has been sold in I. Magnin's and Capwell's department stores in the Bay area, Chico's stores, and hundreds of finer boutiques and gift shops all across the
United States. I have personally traveled up to 30,000 miles per year for many years and shown my line of jewelry at the New York International Fashion Boutique Show
(4 times per year), and the Los Angeles (2 times per year), San Francisco (2 times per year), Seattle (2 times per year), and Portland, wholesale gift shows.
Also put in about 10 years selling my wares at arts and craft fairs, Celtic fairs, and Scottish Highland Games in Northern California and Western Washington.

Lifetime Guarantee:

If one of my bracelets ever breaks under normal use, please return it to me and I will replace it free of charge.
If it is an old design no longer in production I will inform you and you may choose any other current design.

Metal Content:

I use the finest metals available to handcraft my bracelets.
The red metal is 99% pure Copper. The yellow metal is Brass, an alloy of 85% Copper and 15% Zinc.
The silver colored metal German-silver, also called Nickel-silver, is an alloy of 65% Copper, 17% Zinc, 18% Nickel.
