Book that changed your life: It sounds stupid but the Rio Grande cataloge, the reason: I had just began to engrave and only was interested in doing western silver for my saddle business, until I seen Sam Alfanos work in the catalog, I had to learn how to engrave like that and the persuit of that has taken me on a whole different path than I had imagined when I first started a little over 2 yrs ago.
Greatest childhood memory: The day I won my first buckle in the steer riding, I was 12
Worst day of your life: I would say in 2003 when I broke my leg getting off my saddle bronc at the Livermore Rodeo. I was convinced until then I was pretty invincable and would never take the ambulance ride out of the arena. I was wrong!

Best class you ever took (and why): When I went down to louisiana to study with Sam Alfano, it took decades off my learning time.
