Jim is a Combat Wounded Vietnam Veteran who, because of his injuries, was retired from the Army in 1971. He soon realized that he would need to keep busy and took up traditional woodcarving to pass the time. He also volunteers his time as a web designer for non-profits, plays 12 String Guitar, and has many other hobbies and interests.

After a move into a condo, Jim had to leave his woodshop behind and find a whole new hobby. After a cruise to Bermuda, and after watching another gentleman wirewrapping stones, Jim self taught himself in the art, and now teaches classes to others.

Jim used to collect rocks and minerals when he was growing up, and now it’s full circle for him, and with the help of his wife’s keen eye, Jim tries to bring you the best that mother nature has to offer in the form of gems and minerals, tastefully wire wrapped in Gold and Silver
