    I didn't choose it, it chose me. One of those funny little twists of
    fate. I could have been just as happy doing something else that used
    me in a similar way. I had some training as a machinist, was all
    fired up to start my own shop doing prototypes. Didn't work out. Did
    a lot of writing in college, wanted to be an author, didn't work out.
    Built a couple of hotrods, wanted to go pro, definitely didn't work
    out. 

    So I just landed into jewelry one day. Not romantic. Not a good
    story for an artist's statement I suppose. 

    Out of monetary necessity I had to keep striving to be better. Long
    road, fraught with failures and Orcs. Now, I've done it so long I'm
    too old to start something new. So I'll just keep growing my grey
    hair. But I do believe my time has finally come. Things are just
    popping for me. I may turn into Neil The White.
