Pursuing excellence in the art of engraving began for me at the age of fourteen. Being from Western Massachusetts surrounded by leading manufacturers I was able to request a tour of Smith & Wesson's engraving department. In 1982 Russ Smith, Paul Piquette and Domingos Joaquim were the factory engravers at Smith & Wesson.
Domingos, D.J. as he liked to be called was impressed with my drawings and ambition. He took me under his wing and started teaching from his home techniques and styles of engraving. Early in 1984 I was offered a position with Fountain Plating Co, Inc. hand engraving under D.J.'s direction. We engraved many commemorative level pieces.

The custom engraved Model 29 you completed is a truly outstanding work of art that far exceeded my expectations! Both your artistic talents and the craftsmanship and style of your engraving are readily apparent. The overall layout flows beautifully. The inlayed gold lettering, the barrel and cylinder bands and the gold borders add a real touch of class!
