tattooin' and lovin' the ladies is all I know...

About Me

Currently I tattoo out of Electric Dragonland in Hopkins, MN. I've lived in MN for 8 years. Before that was South Dakota, CA, NY, WA, MI, born in CO. I've been involved in the hardcore scene since '83. Was in numerous bands, with my last band being HOPE YOU CHOKE (ex-Holding On, Bodies Lay Broken, Real Enemy and Rushin' Attack). Set up shows for 10+ years. Now I just draw/tattoo and hang out with my daughter. I'm a big OAKLAND RAIDERS fan.I also dislike camping, outdoors, wildlife that tries to touch me. I hate mosquitos that come near me. I want to punch them in the noodle. I do like frogs. I don't like mosquitos. Squirrels are ok, but no mosquitos.
