At the age of 9, my grandmother introduced me to the captivating world of coin collecting, which sparked my lifelong passion. Even at such a young age, I found myself irresistibly drawn to the alluring beauty and symbolic significance of coins. As the years went by, my interest in coin collecting transformed into a deep desire to harness their legacy and create something truly meaningful. During my high school years, I immersed myself in the art of crafting coin rings, inspired by the treasured silver and gold coin rings made by soldiers in times past. This unique form of "trench art" demanded countless hours of meticulous work. The ingenious idea behind it was to fashion rings for their beloveds using readily available objects like silver coins.

During my journey, I had the opportunity to meet the perfect partner who would help me elevate my craft to the next level: my beloved wife, Ashley. It's remarkable how, after holding her hand just once, I was able to create a silver coin ring that fit her finger perfectly. With her own passion for coin collecting, Ashley became my steadfast supporter, encouraging me to continuously refine my craft. Inspired by her unwavering support, I delved into studying classic techniques for shaping coins into rings, discovering innovative uses for commonplace tools along the way. I even pioneered new steps in the process, pouring extra attention into every intricate detail. By 2013, I had honed my skills and developed signature techniques that allowed me to preserve the exquisite details on both sides of the coin while ensuring a smooth and comfortable fit for each gold and silver coin ring.
