    I was living in England at the time, and had 2 months to go till I
    finished school. 

    Then one day I was called to the Headmasters office and introduced
    to a gentleman from a Jewellery company. I was told to sign some
    papers that.At that time did not really know what I was signing. I
    later found out I had agreed to do a 5 year apprenticeship as a
    goldsmith. 

    I had always been an A student in metalwork that is why I had been
    picked. I have since moved to B.C Canada and have two workshops where
    we make and repair jewellery for a large American chain, and five
    Canadian stores. I also have a small private school teaching
    goldsmithing. 

    I just love it, each day is fun, because it is always a new
    challenge.
