I started my apprenticeship here at Skibos in July of 2007 in both piercing and tattooing. I had no idea this job could be so much fun! Prior to that I attended Western State College of Colorado in Gunnison where I earned a bachelor of fine arts degree in graphic design with a minor in business. I've always been kind of an art geek; like being a senior editor of my high school yearbook and senior photography editor of my college newspaper, but I've always loved to do it!

I am a native to Colorado and the Ft. Collins area. For as many times as I've made plans to move away for whatever reason, I always end up staying. I do love this state but would eventually like to be a little closer to the coast. I guess I've been creating art since I was old enough to pick up a pencil. I wouldn't say I specialize in one medium as opposed to another but I enjoy painting, drawing, airbrush, calligraphy, and pottery among other things.
