I have been tattooing for 6 years. Although I enjoy doing any tattoo, my favorite styles are Traditional American and Japanese imagery. In my opinion tattoos should be bold and built to stand the test of time.

I got my break in 2002 at Leviticus Tattoo in Cumberland, Rhode Island, where I apprenticed under Jason Blanchette (owner of Leviticus Tattoo). I started tattooing in the winter of 2004. I am forever grateful for the opportunity that I was given by him.

In the winter of 2005 I moved to Altered Images Tattoo Studio in Cumberland, Rhode Island. It was there that I really learned how to apply a tattoo the way I do today, with the help of Rob Young (owner of Altered Images Tattoo) and Matt Brotka.

Since then I have been able to say I've worked with Luke Taylor and Tom Butts at Hope Street Tattoo. Where I had a great experience learning and growing with some great artist.

I then worked at McInnis Tattoo Company where I worked with a great staff. T.J. McInnis(owner), and Nate Morretti.

I now work at Flying Tiger Tattoo where we have a top notch staff including Murray Sell(tattooer/owner), Marcus Mancini(tattooer), Eric Wilcox(tattooer), Jay Swartout(piercer/owner), Greg Tevlin(Manager/owner), and myself. We also regularly have amazing guest artist coming through providing top notch work. The shop is located at 1537 Stanely St. New Britain, CT 860.832.8411.

I primarily do custom work where I am privileged enough to be entrusted to transform my customers ideas into my own vision.

I love doing any tattoo a customer may want- from custom to flash, from contemporary to past.
