I toured overseas in the military from 2006-2011, where I was injured in combat. My career in tattooing began in 2011 when I apprenticed in Waianae, Hawaii for a year. Over the years, I gained extensive experience tattooing in Hawaii, California, South Carolina, Maryland, Florida and now in Jefferson, Georgia. 

I married my beautiful wife Xaviera in 2022, and together we have four amazing kids. We’re both fitness trainers who help others pursue healthier lifestyles, and I also help coach middle school wrestling at East Jackson Middle School. On top of that, I dedicate time to helping other tattooers through their journeys of recovery. 

Xaviera and I began attending The Jefferson Church in 2022 where we both committed our lives to Jesus, and we are happily serving in the ministry on a weekly basis. I lead a men’s small group, while Xaviera helps with the high school students. Together, we lead a marriage small group that facilitates a safe space for couples to grow together as spouses and Believers. 

We share the passion and vision for Electric Panther Tattoo Co. to become a cornerstone of Creativity, Community and Faith in the City of Jefferson. While the shop provides bright, bold and clean tattooing and sterile piercings, it will also serve as a conduit of hope, recovery and change in the lives of our community through supporting those in need; financially, spiritually and more. 

We look forward to getting to know you!
