I started my career in 1968 while still in high school.  At that time I was invited into a co-op program.  There I first learned casting of gold and platinum.  I was then taught the art of stone setting from two great Masters, one from Italy and the other from Germany.

I moved to Los Angeles in 1974 and worked as the head diamond setter and shop foreman for a large jewelry manufacturer.  I opened my own business in 1978.  After a couple years of manufacturing a line of jewelry, I chose to only make special order one of a kind pieces for retail jewelry stores.  Over the years , my shop has been located in Beverly Hills, Brentwood and Toluca Lake California.

On my website, you can see samples of my work.  After all these years, I'm fortunate to still be a bench jeweler and loving it.
