Andy is a student of Pastoral Studies in Northern California. He has worked with youth and young adults for several years now and has a passion to see them grow as individuals with strong character.

Andy has used his love and talent for music and art to work with and inspire young people. His ultimate goal is to complete school and open a youth center that concentrates on music and the arts. His continuing education will include teaching credentials and a master’s degree in counseling psychology or business administration (with an emphasis on non-profit organizations).

Andy has been making jewelry for friends and family for many years now and has learned how to make much of what he does by trial and error. There is never a problem that doesn’t have a solution and many times the journey leads to many other inspiring ideas. A few years ago Andy’s father began to talk about making double sided silver coin rings using old silver coins. The conversations turned into experimentation and then to production. The work that you see today is from knowledge that was built with every stroke of a hammer. Many beautiful pieces come out of the studio every day and are being worn and proudly displayed worldwide.

With the support of his father he has become a true Ring Master that has become a pioneer, breaking new ground in the way coin rings are made; producing work that is truly unique coin art. Andy’s attention to detail is second to none and as each piece that is formed is brought to life with skill and a love for the craft. His future plans include other forms of jewelry and even a couple of surprises. Stay tuned to see what this artist comes up with.
