meet the northern grit team

First, I am a family man. I am a husband and a father who cherishes and prioritizes these roles. I thank God everyday for blessing me with a healthy and happy family that I can love and serve for as long as I live.

I live in rural south eastern Connecticut on a homestead property where my family and I raise animals, grow produce and live off of our own land as best we can. We are big believers in slow, natural and healthy living.

I am a proud American, and a veteran of the United States Army, serving in Operation Enduring Freedom. I love my country and the sovereignty it provides for me.

Some might call me old-fashioned, but I prefer doing things the old way, with full presence, love and respect for whatever I set my heart on. Even if it’s just the mundane of life.

I am family-oriented father of three who finds inspiration in the outdoors and quality time with his loved ones. As a tattoo artist, I specialize in vibrant traditional tattoos, illustrative black and grey designs, and enjoy creating black and grey floral and mandala work, blending bold expression with thoughtful detail.
