Kyle Francisco

Kyle Francisco was born January 11, 1994 to Janelle and Les Begay in Gallup, New Mexico. He is the oldest of their three children. He grew up in Fort Wingate where he graduated Fort Wingate High School.

After high school, he worked for a construction company removing asbestos and radiation in Los Alamos, NM. He is now back in Gallup, NM and is still doing construction. He is inspired by his grandfather, Steve Arviso, who is a very talented and highly acclaimed silversmith. Steve is also a tribal leader for the Navajo Nation.

Kyle trains horses with his grandfather Steve, and he enjoys fishing, hiking, riding horses, and when there is snow, he snowboards. 

Kyle is a great young artist, and we’re excited to carry his jewelry. His silver stampwork is very precise and beautiful.
