I grew up in Missouri and finished college at Arizona State. As an artist, I was always curious, so one day I stumbled into a pinstriper's garage in Mesa, Arizona. The garage was owned by a famous pinstriper named Butch Tucker. He had lots of old cars and funny stories. He was great fun and taught me about paints, striping and lettering.
After college, I began doing striping and car tattoos for dealerships in Phoenix. When I moved to Texas years later, I began doing car tattoos in Austin. Its a great way to personalize a vehicle.
