Jessica’s BioI graduated 2007 from Manatee High School with college credits from the medical academy program. I went to Manatee Community College for two years and realized I needed something different. 2011 I started a journey in the cosmetology field. As I trained and completed my licensing, I worked 5 years before I received another license in cosmetic tattooing. This pathway gave me many opportunities to work with many people and to perfect my skill. I was able to work in a medical office and help all different types of people my tattooing consisted of nipple reconstruction (for breast cancer patients), scar camouflage, micro blading and much more. In 2020, it was time for a new career change. Having young children and our HVAC company growing, I agreed to work with Spartan Air Solutions to use my skills of organizing and customer relations. I grew quickly into the HVAC industry and now work with the best. We have merged with some awesome people who matched our drive for success. We are very grateful. As of May 2022, I can proudly say I can now add Brass Babe of Red State Armory to my resume. My husband, Levi, came up with the concept on a gun range with friends. He put his dreams to reality. As the wheels were in motion and my roller skates couldn’t go fast enough. We now successfully have been working together and with great love and support from family and friends we have been taking off.
