About Me

ABOUT ME

So little space..and so much to tell! I've been told I'm a lil' eccentric! I'm aesthetically driven. Passionate, yet sometimes I feel as though I've lost my focus. I'm an internationally known, well published, award winning tattoo artist! Say that ten times fast!! I'm a world traveller. I've been to every state but six, all over Europe twice for two months at a time, Toronto and Vancouver B.C., oh and the Bahamas twice!

In 2010, I began a journey that had been calling me for a long time. Inspired by the loss of loved ones, I decided to prepare to walk across America. My hope was to encourage people to get out and live their lives now! Because "someday is not the 8th day of the week!!" I did a "test run" to work out the kinks by walking down the entire Oregon Coast. I began the walk in Astoria with my pot bellied pig, Petunia. She mostly rode in a Burley Stroller, but could get out and walk with me whenever she wanted to. I met many wonderful people on the walk, and my faith in humanity was restored on a daily basis. I even met a wonderful woman along the way, and I asked her to continue on this journey with me. And lucky for me, she did. We walked to Eureka, CA. It was the most amazing experience.

She is a travel nurse. So, we have been traveling around California for her work. We love L.A. and I have been working in a tattoo shop there. I have also been involved with the comedy scene.

PHILOSOPHY

'CARPE DIEM'
'its all about the journey...not the destination!'
'you've only got one life in this body...Fucking LIVE it!'
its a lil cheesy but..
do unto others..kindness is important and it has its ways of finding you later and returning the favor.
