About me

“SUPER SYCHED YOU ARE CHECKING ME OUT!” —me

Born on a cold, brisk November day in 1975, ass first—what a surprise!

Growing up, I loved to create and often got into trouble for it. Apparently, other people’s stuff is off limits—lesson learned (and yes, that includes walls and furniture). I’ve always enjoyed making things for others, which led me to take many art classes throughout my younger years. In high school, I really loved theater in all its forms, from set design and creation to acting roles. After I “graduated with honors” (just kidding!), I started my own airbrush business at Courtland Center Mall, where I began learning the art of tattooing. I worked at The Electric Chair in Clio, MI for 22 years while earning my Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Animation from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online—this time with honors (not kidding!). In May 2022, a hole in my heart caused a clot that traveled to my brain, resulting in a stroke and brain bleed. I lost consciousness for weeks and underwent emergency brain surgery. I went to sleep clean-shaven and woke up with a full beard (ha-ha). I experienced partial paralysis from muscle atrophy and had to relearn much of life. That journey has given me new insight and a deep appreciation for the art of living. I look forward to meeting you and hearing about your adventures.
