About Us

ELITE was built on a simple truth: welding is the easy part, but building a business that lasts is where most artists struggle. After training and auditing thousands of permanent jewelry artists, I saw the same patterns repeat: unclear pricing, shaky sales, supply issues, and legal confusion holding talented artists back.

That’s why I created ELITE: to hand you the full foundation of a sustainable, profitable business. No gatekeeping, no filler. Just the tools, strategies, and support that actually work. From materials and welding integrity to sales psychology, pricing, and business structure, ELITE gives you more than a spark. It gives you the confidence and clarity to grow with intention.

Today, over 3,000 worldwide artists have trained through these methods, building businesses that feel clean, aligned, and professional. ELITE Permanent Jewelry Academy exists to make sure you don’t have to guess your way forward, because you deserve to build something that lasts.
