My story
The weird.
The real.
The resilient.
I lost my mom when I was 11 months old. My dad was never the same after. My grandparents, Lillian and Royal, retired in their 60s to raise me and my brother on a fixed income. They gave up everything to make sure we had everything.
I’ve been through hell. The kind that was supposed to take me out. I was meant to die and never walk again.
But here I stand.
Starting over, again, with this business in my forefront.
Teeth, Stones, and Bad Ideas isn’t just painted rocks. I’m a shark tooth hunter. A handmade jewelry maker. A fossil collector. An entrepreneur who builds something out of nothing.
I hunt for teeth in creeks and rivers. I find fossils millions of years old. I turn what the earth gives me into jewelry you can wear, art you can hold, and bad ideas you can laugh at. Every tooth, stone, and piece is found, cleaned, and made by my hands.
This brand is for people who like the weird, the real, and the resilient. For the ones who’ve been through it and still have teeth.
Thank you for being here and supporting a real maker with a real story.
