The stones in my work are rare and unique, usually cut and polished by yours truly; I take pride in the balance between nature and design

The bike snapped in half while I was riding in the Phoenix mountains, I broke 2 ribs, 4 vertebrae, and collapsed a lung. I had a major out of body experience and spent some time on the other side. I saw incredible, divine things and felt such deep feelings that to this day show me new pieces of my heART.
