I am a carpenter by day and a photographer at night. I have been documenting my life for about 17 years. My life has mainly been about skateboarding, women travel and friends. I love to shoot all of these things. I guess to sum it up I shoot things that I care about. I studied photography at SJSU where i met some amazing artists. My youth is slowly eroding which means my work is changing...I am not sure where it is headed. That's ok.
