I have been an artist my whole life and it started when my mother got me private art lessons when I was 6 years old. I quickly fell in love with comic book art and then was curious about how to make art my career. I began tattooing at the age of 18 and continued that career for the next 20 years. Recently I am ready to retire from tattooing and pursue my forever dream of being a painter. When I'm not painting I'm surfing or going to the beach with my 5 year old son and wife of 15 years.
