I’ve collected my ink across continents—each piece tied to a moment in time during my Army career as a medic and my journey after.

My most recent piece reflects the shift from battlefield to rehab clinic—from combat medic to future physical therapist. Traditional Irezumi, it’s a tribute to resilience, purpose, and the power of healing others. It’s a visual reminder that strength isn’t just about muscle—sometimes it’s about showing up when you’re broken and still choosing to care.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?“We’ve been through hell, but we wear it well.” Every line, color, and shadow is a lesson survived. My ink would say I’ve lived a thousand lives and kept evolving through every scar and success. Each one is a living timeline of who I was, who I am, and who I’m becoming.
What would you do with the $25,000?I’d build my mobile wellness brand—a fusion of physical therapy, veteran support, and community outreach. It’d fund equipment, creative branding, and free services for underserved communities. I'd also give back to the neurorehab center I volunteered at that helped shape my new mission.
