I was born and raised in the sleepy town of Lillooet, BC and upon graduation I spent the next 5 years in the Vancouver area attending Emily Carr University of Art and Design where I recieved my BFA, majoring in drawing.

Life would eventually bring me to Kamloops where I pursued a career in teaching by attending TRU. Half way through my first semester opportunity knocked and I set my teaching plans aside to take up a tattoo apprenticeship at Sakred Skin & Studio in 2015.

Aside from doing art, I am a father, husband, musician, D&D player, Tolkien fanatic, dinosaur lover and a mythology enthusiast
