​After the loss of my father, I closed up shop and moved back to Phoenix for the second time.  Although I did some tattooing here and there, I got involved with a lot of flight training...a passion I always enjoyed sharing with him. The sky was art to me, so I felt right at home again and was inspired by the sky every time I flew.  During that time, I got into photography and videography and later came back to doing instructional videos and computer generated designs for a variety of clients. To date, I hold a FAA commercial pilots license, instrument rating, multi-engine rating, complex endorsement, FAA aircraft dispatcher license, advanced ground instructor rating, and drone operators license.  I plan to get my CFI in 2022.

​

In 2016, I moved to Las Vegas and worked doing various forms of freelance graphic design. My clients included airlines, flight schools, small businesses, authors, and independent graphics companies.

​

Not long after the tragic events on Oct 1 2017, I moved back to Arizona to continue with my passion in tattooing.  It's something I've always enjoyed.  I love meeting new people and helping them get the art they want.  I take great pride in all that I do and I try to incorporate all of my past skills and experiences into my designs when I can. 

​

For a long time, I've continued to try and clarify exactly what kind of artist I was because my interests seem to be all over the board. I've pursued most of them and found art in each. However, in the end, now, I prefer to keep it simple...
