I grew up in a small Oklahoma town in a farming/ranching family. I hung out a lot with my Dad, paying attention to how he solved everyday problems. Later, I spent 9 years as a corporate suit for a Fortune 500 company in Dallas where I had a tremendous experience that would serve me well many years later as I started not one but two small businesses. 

In 2011, I became interested in creating jewelry and watched and learned from every tutorial I could find. I loved the creative process! I still create a small collection of handmade contemporary jewelry.
