    I had no former life, I was always in jewelry since I was in high
    school. Lived in Tehran,Iran for one year as a high school student
    as my mother got a teachers job at the Tehran American School, just
    to travel. I started jewelry when I was a teen as an after school job
    for my dad, easy money I thought. I didn't even really have a love
    for the work other than to be proud of each job done well, I made
    multiples of many family designs. I didn't start designing for 10
    years, then only very slowly did I try to make a technique mine,
    apart from family. Repousse' did that for me and I loved it for
    years until I realized that in the big bad world few appreciated the
    amount of work that each design took. I was Arizona Army National
    Guard, in the field artillery, for 9 years. Fell in love with making
    jewelry and here I am. 

That's it for me.
