About Me


where to begin...i guess it all started september 20th, 1976, in central california, a little farm town called turlock. though it now seems to be turning into a commuter town, which is really sad. left there when i was 19, moved to chico, ca, though it was mostly a blur. after that moved to santa rosa/ cotati, ca when i was 21. went to madison, wi for a bit while i was 23, worked in my buddy Dega's parents green house, that was probably one of the funnest jobs i've ever had, working outside around plants and at the farmer's market. came back to the west coast, san francisco, my favorite city in the states. lived there for about five years. met my girlfriend (she was visiting from los angeles) there and we decided to travel the world for a bit. ended up living in barcelona, spain for a couple months. then moved to los angeles to be with my girl (who will no doubt be a famous furniture designer someday) and continue my career in the fashion industry. we live downtown in a very historic building on gallery row. the surrounding architecture is above par to say the least and we have the most amazing rooftop views, not to mention all the galleries around. the smog sucks and a lot of the people are lame, but it's a lot better than I thought it would be. i've learned to stay away from hollywood as much as possible, i've found the eastside suits me better. downtown is great, bike rides, conversating with crackheads and homeless, art galleries, the richest of the rich and the poorest of the poor in a few city blocks, where old meets new. lately i've been taking it easy focusing on work, but still make time for art and music, jessica, and my friends...because what's the point if you can't enjoy life...puzzled...WK Interact...New York City...
