“I was a rock hound for years. I mined crystals all over the country. Whenever I see something shiny on the ground, I want to pick it up and see what it is. I mined all 48 states. Fluorite, amethyst, smoky quartz, clear quartz, Herkimer diamond, labradorite, fire agate, lace agate, geodes. Petrified wood and Herkimer diamonds are my favorite. Herkimer diamonds because I could give a girl a diamond any time I wanted to, and they were the first real crystal I started mining. I tracked down a form of black petrified wood that wasn’t known to be in existence, and I’m the only one who knows where it is. Whenever I go get it, everyone freaks out.”

“At WovePrint.co, we screen print shirts on-site. We partner with artists and charities. We collaborate to promote their work, so when they have an art show they’re able to sell quality tees of their art with no upfront costs to them. Wove basically means woven. Our tagline is ‘Threading the world together.’ That’s why we collaborate with different artists. I definitely thrive from seeing other people succeed. If I’m the key that opens the door to that, it brings me happiness.”
