I was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 1985. At a young age, I always loved to sketch and draw. My parents and siblings always said I would be an artist. While working as a UPS supervisor and going to college to become an architect, I got my first tattoo and was hooked. In 2006, at 21 years old, I began tattooing and from that point forward, my path in life was focused on a career in tattooing.
In 2008, I started working at Drop of Ink Tattoo in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. After six years I decided it was time for a change and I also wanted to keep progressing with my work. In 2014, I began working at 717 Tattoo in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. I’ve become known for my American traditional work, but will tattoo anything you can come up with - I love the challenge.
Some of my artistic influences come from Vanis Orr, Myke Chambers, and Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins. In addition to tattooing, I spend my time playing with my daughter, spending time with my wife, music, and just about every sport known to man.
