Your Bio

I have been a jeweler for over 22 years and was former co-owner and Master Jeweler for 14 years of an independent custom jewelery store in St. Louis, Missouri.

In addition I did a stint of 8 years as a Full-Time Senior Client Support Specialist at Washington University in St. Louis.

Further proof that I simply "might" be indeed "Mad"...

HARD Headed runs in the family : I spent 18 days in a coma, and exactly 40 in the hospital total. Of the 40 days, I remember perhaps the last 10 (as in a fog) I do not count it lightly that it was exactly 40 days. My life has gone through a phenominal metamorphis over the last years since March 28th. 2005. I broke my right jaw in 2 places, my right collar bone, my right shoulder blade and collapsed my right lung. Of the 5 areas of the brain, 4 of mine were injured. THANK GOD for full face helmets! Just knocked some sense into me. I quietly inquired of God if He could have used a 2x4 or something but immediately answered my own inquiry. I am, at times, hard headed! Now I have a SheepSkin to prove that I am indeed officially brain damaged > and after additional surgeries to perfect my broken jaw, it was discovered that I indeed had a screw loose! Last but not least, I am worth more live than dead. At least $330,000 more! Hmm...the 1/3 Million Dollar man?
