About me
I love music and art. I found a way to work in it as much as possible through learning multimedia / photography / videography / and graphic design. I freelance for magazines, fashion companies, record labels, websites, and private parties. I've enjoyed being on a couple of national tours with some great bands that have permanently changed my life. I've also met some rad, talented, creative, and insane fashion folk that I'm proud to call friends. Working for music magazines was something that I always thought was kinda cool and I never knew how cool it was until I found myself working alongside some of the best people you'll ever meet.
I live in the infamous IE. Shockingly, I have to travel to and around LA to work with other artists and talents. I loved doing TFP when I could afford to do it, but having somone pay me to kick ass makes my world go round. I will do TFP from time to time, but paid gigs get priority.
I shoot ande write for Punk Rock Confidential Magazine. The magazine you love to hate! I used to shoot and write for the really cool Big Wheel Magazine R.I.P.
