My start in tattooing wasn't a dream — it was a last option. I started tattooing with a mail-order kit, a DVD, and my brother's arm. No shop, no mentor, no roadmap — just the art I'd carried since I was a kid.

I owned and operated a studio in Fort Collins, Colorado, and that's where I built my foundation.

The studio was downtown in a historic building that was initially built by a saddle maker, a beautiful studio in a busy location brought in artists from all different backgrounds and regions. The growth I experienced there was unmatched, and it's what led me to black and gray tattooing.

After living out West, I moved back home for a slower pace of life. I wanted to be closer to where I came from, to build something rooted.

Today my wife and I own Old Hallows Tattoo in Green Bay, Wisconsin. We bought, renovated, and rebuilt the space. The building was a pharmacy before becoming a barbershop for the past 70 years. No downtown, standalone, located on a main corridor, exactly what I knew I wanted this time around.

I've traveled coast to coast, working alongside and learning from tattoo artists from all over the country. Every tattoo I do carries the distance between where I started and where I stand now.
