What is your team like?
We pride ourselves on our ability to think quickly and observe deeply, enabling us to accomplish a remarkable amount. We work together to achieve our goals. Sharing achievements not only feels great but also reinforces our shared commitment and effectiveness.

What parts of our mission do you most identify with?

I believe the history of the company is very unique. You don't find many companies in Tucson who have reached the world in the way TM International has.

What do most people not know about you? 
As a GM for a property management firm, I traveled to Australia to address 3000 attendees on US real estate investment. At the event, I met Tim Ferris and Richard Branson. Our mission succeeded, leading to our company managing numerous properties for Australian investors.

What motivates you most about your job?
My drive stems from the process of creating, learning, and accomplishing goals. Being a self-starter, I value collaborating with a manager who equips me with the resources needed and empowers me to execute tasks independently.

February 2024
Do you have any hidden talents? If so, what are they?
My super useless talent is that I can remember the names of most actors that I see in a movie. It's not cool.

What has been your greatest accomplishment with TMI?
I've had the opportunity to work with multiple departments and people across the company to roadmap and implement production automation within our current production environment. It's been a fantastic learning experience which has allowed me to really understand how the company works and how all the various systems connect to each other.

What do you find most unique about this company?
The production process for tattoos is pretty unique, but I think the most unique thing about the company is the people. There's a strong commitment to constantly improve, iterate, and succeed.

Who is your greatest influence? Why?
My wife Marcy. She worked at TMI for over 10 years as the creative director for the Savvi Department and she's super talented in design and organization. I always bounce ideas off her and am constantly in awe of her abilities.

If you were to go back in history, who would you be and why?
Definitely Wyatt Earp or someone who observed the OK corral gunfight. When I went to Tombstone for the first time I always wondered what that must have felt like and where the truth in the legend really is. Plus cowboys, gunfights, and the old west are super cool.
