Your ProfileI am a former US Marine and professional golfer. In 2005 I went back to work as a security specialist/contractor. I worked in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Africa. I don't have an art background but have always designed and drawn my tattoos which have been inked around the world. When I retired from contracting I knew there would be one more tattoo and I started drawing Freedom Spined.

The Story Behind Your PaintingWhy Freedom Spined? A symbol of strength and honor to protect the freedom we are granted, and to have the courage and backbone to do the right thing at the right time for the right reason.
