We trace a winding path from Little Italy to the Texas Hill Country as Joe Remini shares how mentors, the Air Force, and a leap into jewelry turned into a values-first business. Faith practices like Sabbath and tithing reshape his team’s rhythms and, to his surprise, growth.
• early family anchors amid a rough home life
• choosing the Air Force and finding mentors
• moving to Texas to parent and start over
• opening The Texas Silver Rush on a shoestring
• evolving from beads to full fabrication with a skilled team
• organic connections with musicians and creators
• honesty about near-closures and fear
• integrating faith at work through Sabbath and tithing
• seeing a 45 percent sales jump after those choices
• generosity as practice: veterans, community, scholarships
• maturing, accountability, and dealing with inner voices
• rededicating the store at 25 years with a blessing
Texas Silver Rush is located in Fredericksburg, Texas. Find them at their website or on social media and join the 25th anniversary celebration on February 16. “Whatever we do from year 25 and day one, let it honor Him and be done in love.”
