What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My latest tattoo was inspired by my love & passion for The Grateful Dead. I HAD TO HAVE Jerry Garcia tattooed on my arm but it had to be unique & completely original. I got exactly what I wanted and more!

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink would be proud to the say following: "Being permantly attached to Nels, I think he believes in freedom, weirdness, and the beauty of imperfection. He also carries the music, the memories, and the moments that made him who he is today. And lastly, I've learned that Nels thinks time is a circle, he is MADLY in love with his wife and the bus is always moving!"

What would you do with the $25,000?

Our daughter (my wife Nicki & I have been insanely happily married for almost 29 years) is a senior in college and will be an elementary school teacher when she graduates in a year. We would give her all $25,000 as that would give her such an amazing start in life. She works so hard at school, holds a full time job AND volunteers when she can. $25k would help her immensely & she deserves it.
