I’m a combat veteran who spent five years serving in the U.S. Army. When that chapter of my life ended, I entered a different kind of battle—figuring out who I was, where I belonged, and what I was meant to build.
For years, I explored different industries, creative paths, and business opportunities. I failed more than once. I made mistakes, took losses, learned hard lessons, and kept moving.
At the time, those moments felt like setbacks. Looking back, they were preparation.
Every failure sharpened me. Every detour taught me something. Every restart pushed me closer to the work I was meant to do.
Today, I’m a father to a beautiful little girl, an entrepreneur, an innovator, and someone who has helped pioneer new approaches within my industry while helping thousands. I’ve built businesses, developed products, trained professionals, and continued to push beyond what already existed.
What once looked like a series of failures became the foundation for everything I’m building now.
And I’m still just getting started.
01 — The Service
Then, in 2021, I found the lane that would ultimately redefine my life as I became a Paramedical Tattooist.
02 — The Craft
What started as learning a new skill quickly became a career centered around innovation. I began specializing in stretch mark rejuvenation and scar revision, developing my own techniques, refining treatment methods, and formulating products specifically to support the work I was doing.
That work eventually took me around the world, working with clients and training professionals across the United States and internationally. I had the opportunity to teach these techniques, share the products I had developed, and watch other professionals successfully implement the methods into their own businesses.
Over time, I became known in the industry as
“Mr. Bye Bye Stretch Marks.”
03 — The Calling
As the demand for better professional products grew, I created Artemis Paramedical Tattoo Supply Company—a brand built around the formulations, tools, and products I believed practitioners in the industry were missing.
Through years of working directly with skin, developing techniques, training professionals, and formulating products, I became increasingly focused on one thing: how the right ingredients and the right delivery method can work together to create a more complete approach.
That experience eventually led me into another area that affects millions of people: hair loss.
04 — The System
Mr. Bye Bye was created from the same philosophy that shaped my career in paramedical tattooing. I didn’t want to build another brand dependent on one trendy product or one “hero ingredient.” I wanted to build a complete system.
By combining quality formulations, targeted ingredients, internal support, and an advanced at-home needling method, I set out to create a more comprehensive approach to supporting scalp health, stronger follicles, and healthier-looking hair.
Mr. Bye Bye is the culmination of an unlikely journey—from the military, to years of searching for my path, to becoming a paramedical tattoo artist, educator, product formulator, and entrepreneur working with people around the world.
And now, the mission is simple:
Give people better tools to take control of their hair health before hair loss takes control of their confidence.
