I’m 26 years young and a United States Army Combat Veteran.I served in Operation Iraqi Freedom. I would like to address something real quick, some may say I’m conceited, cocky, and arrogant with ego, I don’t think so I’m good at what I do. I wouldn’t do it if I wasn’t good at it. I know what I know if I don’t know it I will not comment on it. This makes me confident and proud not conceited but confident. Yes I do have self-esteem, maybe you should get some. I'm a down-to-earth kind of guy with a wild side just enjoying life and everything it has to offer.I have strong love and passion for art. On any given day if I'm not at school, you can catch me painting or cutting hair. I'm pretty good at both of them check out some of my work and tell me what you think, and if you ever need any work done hit me up and I can hook it up for you.:::::::::::::::::::: BIO :::::::::::::::: ::: Award winning artists, Quentin Crockett, is truly talented beyond his means.
