Meet the Business Owner

Terence Q.

Business Owner

I am from a large family with nin children. Our family didn’t have much money so I was told from a very early age that if you want something you have to work for it. In third grade, I got my first job delivering newspapers. My goal was a ten speed bike. By the fall I had two paper routes; one before school and one after.

I joined the United States Air Force and became an Honor Guard at the White House serving President Reagan in 1984. It was a great job. During that time I wanted a part-​time job to keep me busy, so I got a job as a goldsmith apprentice at Springfield Mall. While still active duty I started my own contracting business doing jewelry repairs for stores all over the metropolitan area.

In 1990, I opened Quinn’s Goldsmith in Occoquan, VA. In 1996, I purchased the 199 Union St. building. In 2011, I opened Quinn’s 2 in Woodbridge. In 2012, I was appointed to the Board of Directors for IJO (Independent Jewelers Organization), the largest independent buying group in the U.S.
