Brad Elfrink

Male, 50 years old

I have a BA in Commercial art and a minor in Archeology. During and after college I managed in various capacities at a long established and successful local restaraunt and catering business, Port Cape Girardeau. I was employed at Port Cape for 12 years before moving on. I then worked for a few years as an optical lab technician, grinding, polishing, cutting and fitting lenses for eye-glasses. During that time I began carving more frequently and selling the fruits of my labor online. With the encouragement of friends I soon found that I was able to go to part time employment at the Optical Lab and not long after made the switch to full time self employment. I've been creating one of a kind collectibles and selling via the internet to customers around the globe, for nearly 7 years now. Sales have increased yearly, with an exception of 2009 when they dipped just a little bit due to the economic challenges that our country has faced. God continues to bless me with new customers almost weekly and this year's sales look to be doing quite well. My work can be seen online at my website at http://www.elvenkrafte.com . Specialties I design and carve original limited edition collectibles such as jewelry (pins, bracelets, etc.), buttons, miniatures and knife handles. I've also worked in pen & ink, painted in acrylic and watercolor, and drawn portraits. I'm also a bit of a jack of all trades and have been refinishing a house that my wife and I live in that was built sometime around 1871. I completed 98% of the work on the plumbing and electrical systems myself, and nearly all of the carpentry work. read more ...
