About the Artist
My experience starts as a kid taking weekend art classes at the Toledo Art Museum. Mom was trying to keep me away from the many vices that the 60’s had to offer and keep me off the streets. I know that I wanted to do something different with my training and love of art…..but I didn’t know what. In 1978, in Wrightstown, N.J., I met a guy named “Mad Jack”, Jack had a small tattoo shop and with much pestering and annoyance on my part, he gave me a shot, and taught me some old school tattooing. I WAS HOOKED!!!!!! After serving a bunch of years in UNCLE SAM’S GREEN MACHINE I returned to Toledo where I met Bob Gerris of Toledo Tattoo. Bob gave me an apprentice position and upon completion a full-time artist position. Bob taught me a new fresh style off tattooing. He is one hell of a good guy!!! Thanks Bob!!! After my time at Toledo Tattoo I worked off and on as a visiting artist in the Southwest and Midwestern U.S.
Fast Forward: 2009 Here I am at Visions to Reality. Practicing my craft and working with some really good people that are talented, encouraging, and full of ideas and energy. It’s a great mix of styles, personalities and Visions……Check us out!!!
