solid work, and great decision making has consistently made the right moves to send his career in a positive direction. I am also a big fan of Cale Belford, who is an awesome piercer and dear friend who is very close to my heart. Her ear project work is as good as it gets, and she has always been very supportive to me in my piercing and jewelry work. I also really like her custom crafted ear jewelry designs from her little company, Uzumaki. Her jewelry is a unique style that is a mix of crochet, metals, and stones, unlike the piercing world has ever seen before. There are quite a few other younger guys out there who are up and coming that I admire. The one that sticks out the most to me is Morgan Strong. That kid is really working his ass off to travel and work with the best people and shops he can get his grubby little hands on. I really admire his determination and refusal to settle for good enough. Morgan just recently became an APP member and I know he has a long and prosperous career ahead of him.
