Shorty has been a professional body piercer in Palm Beach County since 1999.  His devotion to providing the best possible body piercing experience lead him to become the very first South Florida member of the Association of Professional Piercers (APP).

He is a regular attendee of the Annual APP Conference and Expo, as well as the Camp APP Members Retreat, where he stays current on industry standards and techniques.

Shorty regularly organizes outreach meetings for other local Florida piercers, and as a member of FEHA, he is also a consultant to the Florida Department of Health with regard to the body piercing industry. 

When he is not piercing ears, noses, and everything else you can find him on the nearest pickleball courts. In his free time, he also enjoys fishing, shooting sports, and spending time with his family. (not exactly in that order)
