Bio

I’ve spent the past two decades solely focused on music. I’m a founding member of two national touring bands called Guns Out At Sundown and Rise Among Rivals, and while playing drums has always been my passion, 2020 made me realize I needed to take a more independent route. That’s when tattooing unexpectedly came into my life. It all started during a tattoo appointment for my now wife at Konkrete Jungle. I struck up a conversation with the artist, Jay Needlez, about music and art. He asked to see some of my paintings, and when I showed him, he paused, took off his gloves, and handed me a tattoo machine from his Craftsman tool box. I was surprised, casually handed it back, and he said, 'It’s yours. If you can paint , you can tattoo.' January 14th, 2023, changed my life forever. Now, I have the honor of working with Jon Vance and Big Ralph at JON VANCE TATTOO Private Studio, and I’ll be forever grateful to them for welcoming me into their world. While music will always be a part of me, tattooing has become my next passion to pursue and conquer. Thank you for taking the time to read my story!
