I was born in the town of Bodø, North of the Arctic Circle at 67° 17' N, in Northern Norway, but I spent several of my childhood years in different parts of the world. Among other places, I spent time in England, the US, and East Africa. After college, I started out as an elementary-school teacher in Norway. A couple of years later I was ready to move on, and in 1983 I came to visit some friends in the US. After a while I met Neil, - we got married the following year and I ended up staying here.

Over the years I have done many different types of work. I have been a school-teacher; I have painted houses and harvested roses in a greenhouse; and I have been a book-keeper and store-manager. Obviously, I have not walked a straight career-path. Yet somehow, they are all connected. In all these endeavors, my work has always been about doing my very best, and taking pride in what I do. And it's been a lot of fun!

A few years ago, I would never have imagined that I would be the webmaster for our web-store, but it's not that different from running a brick-and-mortar store. My 21st century high-tech work is what allows Neil to do his traditional 19th century crafts of hand-engraved silver buckles, and bench-made custom belts. - And his artwork allows me to do this! We are a good team.

I have many years of experience managing successful retail-stores in Sedona and Jerome, Arizona, and one of my strengths has always been that I am very meticulous. Neil, who does unbelievable detail work in his engraving, still thinks that I am "nitpicky" in my approach to my work. You can be confident that your order will be treated professionally.

If you call or email NR Hunt Studio, chances are you will be talking to me first. I am the storekeeper and webmaster for our web-store, and I aim to provide exceptional customer service. Each customer is treated as an individual, and each order is a special order.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if we can be of service. I enjoy talking to our customers.
