I was born and raised in the sleepy little town of Lillooet, BC, and once I graduated high school, I moved to Vancouver to study at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, where I earned my BFA with a major in drawing.

​

Life eventually brought me to Kamloops, where I pursued a career in teaching at TRU. Halfway through my first semester, opportunity knocked in the form of a tattoo apprenticeship at Sakred Skin & Studio in 2015 where I first picked up a tattoo machine and never looked back.​

Since 2022, I’ve been running my own private studio, Greenman Tattoos, and in 2025 I became one of the co-founders of the Kamloops Tattoo Show, the city’s first-ever tattoo convention, alongside Amie Easton of Juggerbean Tattoo Parlour in Sunpeaks.

​

Outside the studio, I wear many hats: I am a father, husband, musician, D&D player, Tolkien fanatic, dinosaur admirer and mythology enthusiast. All of those passions, in their own ways, find their way into my work.
