I am a husband, father, teacher and now apprentice piercer here at Flesh To Fantasy. My journey into piercing began unexpectedly when I came in for a tattoo with the talented Marah in 2024. While she worked, I shared that I had always been interested in piercing but never pursued it. She encouraged me to apply, and on January 2, 2025, I officially began my apprenticeship.

Outside the shop, I'm a Social Studies teacher with Dayton Public Schools, where I have taught for four years. This year, I'm guiding students through Modern World History, Sociology and Credit Recovery - a role I love just as much as piercing. What draws me to piercing is the joy it brings others; watching a client's face light up when they see their new look in the mirror is absolutely priceless.

For me, piercing is more than a service - it's an experience that helps people express themselves in ways that make them feel more complete and confident.
