    I am really enjoying this thread so here is contribution. 

    B.S. Physics, M.S. Chemistry, M.S. Materials Science 

    I spent ten years selling souvenirs to tourist in a local town to
    pay my way through college. After completing school I took a job as a
    scientist for the government, which is still my day job. 

    I started collecting rocks and doing some simple lapidary work in my
    early teens. I eventually needed something to do with all those
    rocks & gems so I started to try to make jewelry. Luckily a jeweler
    across the street from where I worked was going out of business and
    leaving town, so he gave his spare torch to a mutual fried who then
    passed it to me. I made various simple jewelry for sale at craft
    bazaars when I was in college to make some extra money, but I haven't
    sold much in the past ten years. Now I am working to build an
    inventory and to find a good outlet so I can start to sell my work
    again.
