I'm going to go ahead and skip the "I've always been a artist" rant. Honestly tattooing was never my game plan, it knocked and I opened the door. I received a formal apprenticeship in 2003 under Bob Ducharme at Creepy Creations Tattoo in Londonderry, NH. In the fall of 2008 I decided to trade snow for rain and headed to Portland, OR to change up the pace and to be in a active cycling community.
Some things that have influenced me along the way: graffiti, anime, skate art, comic books (mostly Marvel & Image), sign painters (that one old dude at the Hopkinton fair), and a some other stuff here and there.
These days you can find me tattooing a Moment of Truth tattoo in NE Portland, racing bicycles with friends, rooting for the Portland Timbers, trying to score goals at Portland indoor, playing the latest first person shooter, and trying to stay afloat. I'm just a regular guy living life, trying to meet some good folks, make some cool tattoos, and collect some cool stories along the way.
