Some of my photos..I’m a pretty laid back guy on a personal level, but for some reason tend to be just the opposite when it comes to motorized vehicles. Since I missed my true calling as Nascar's next great Ricky Bobby, I’ve been focusing my efforts on photography and video production for the past decade. I started out shooting snowboarding photos for a number of different magazines while I was living in the Mammoth Lakes area. Although I loved photography, the one thing I always felt was missing from still photography was the absence of sound. I think audio, whether it's music, someone talking, or the sound of a busy city street, can add so much more life to images when the two are connected. With that in mind I formed Xodus Productions in 99 and began combining the elements in series of snowboard videos that I made from 99 - 01, (Hi-Fi, The Empire and Voice). I have truly been blessed to be able to travel and see a ton of amazing places and meet a lot of great people along the way. Since living in Mammoth, I've expanded into shooting surfing and skateboarding and I’m currently working on producing a skate video called “DESTINATION” with my new partner, under our production company “Mobbed Media”, which is slated to come out in the summer of 07, (see pics & videos). I feel fortunate to have a lot of great friends, family and a career that I love. One thing I’ve realized over the past several years is that people and the relationships we have with them are what really make life worth living.
