Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My best friend of 29 years took his own life in April of 2024. On his birthday (12/10) I memorialized him on my body. We were born a day apart and grew up living 2 blocks away from one another so his passing was a terrible loss. I wanted to be able to carry him with me for the rest of my life since his was cut so short.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak it would give anyone who sees me an idea of where I’ve been in life, what I’m passionate about and how I chose to live everyday. References to Michael Jordan convey my competitive nature, work ethic and the high standards I hold myself to professionally. They also demonstrate my love for my animals still alive and those that are no longer with me.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would spend part of the winnings to send my mom on an all expenses paid vacation to Rancho La Puerta. I would put half in my savings account. I would use the remainder to finish paying off my car and complete my sleeve on my right arm.
