About Me

I've lived in a few random places on earth, but mainly grew up on a tiny island on the East Coast in the town of Newport, RI.
I've been tattooing for about 4.5 years. I was taught by my talented friend Eric at The Edge Tattoo in Pawtucket, RI. I worked with some amazing people during my two year stay there, including my two best friends, Joe and Pat .
In September of 2005, Joe , Jackie and I moved to Honolulu, Hawaii. I made some great friends, and I fell in love with a certain someone . Sue and I moved to Portland, Oregon to try our luck in the pines.
I'm currently working at:
Living Art Tattoo in Gresham, OR. My hours are:
Mondays & Wednesdays: 12:00-8:00
Fridays & Saturdays: 12:00-9:00
Anyways, feel free to get in touch with me if:
1) you like using big words, or
2) you want a bad-assed tattoo, or
3) you like constructing pointless lists, or
4) your obnoxious punk band needs a guitarist, or
5) you forgot the name of that actor who was in that movie, or
6) you have my keys. I need those.

My Interests

Tattooing, Art in general, Politics, Religion, Philosophy, Cognitive Science, Darwinism, Mathematics, Gaming.

A lot of these shows are off the air. I haven't really watched a lot of tv in the last few years. Reality television is the intellectual equivalent of evesdropping, i.e. it blows.
