Instead of an extensive biographical section, I decided to keep a journal for 2008 here on MySpace. After all, its not about what you've donein the past that makes you who you are, its about what you did today to work towards your future and the happiness of those around you. Sothats what you will see here: daily adventures, visual arts, road trips, all around fun. Hope you enjoy.

Began training of Mitch Levy, new assistant with Adrenalin Productions, film production company overseeing the series ADRENALIN CREW forWarner Brothers. I served as the Assistant Director of ADRENALIN CREW for 3 years from Summer 2003 to Summer 2006, and was a jack of alltrades in the Production Company, working film - photography - marketing - PR - assistant tour management for the 13 city Cycle WorldInternational Motorcycle Shows Presented by Toyota Trucks and included managing a storefront for Daytona Beach Bike Week at 813 Main Street 2blocks from the intersection of Main Street and A1A. Mitch Levy is my apprentice on the ADRENALIN CREW series, and New York City would be ourfirst training session.
28-30 December 07
John Flaherty, Kenny Kelley, Mitch Levy, Tattoo Dan, Greg McGlynn work the International Motorcycle Show at the Jacob Javits ConventionCenter in New York City representing ADRENALIN CREW and working alongside the Monster Energy Ball of Steel Stunt Team. 70,000+ in attendance.In addition to selling ADRENALIN CREW DVDs and Merchandise, we conducted and participated in meet and greets and autograph signings for the 2new movies I'm in that came out recently, "Adrenalin Crew 2: Awaiting Trial" and "Adrenalin Crew 3: The Road Behind". Saturday night we wentout to play pool and have dinner with Adrenalin Crew members, Monster Energy Ball of Steel Stunt Team, Toyota Trucks Spokesmodels, and ourfriend Tommy from Orange County Choppers. Sunday night after the IMS Show closed, Kenny Mitch Tattoo Dan and I went to Paul Booth's LastRites Tattoo Studio, ate sushi and watched horror movies in Last Rites' private movie theatre, browsed the art gallery containing Paul's artfusion work and watched guest artist Bob Tyrell of Night Gallery Tattoo throw down a killer portrait of Bruce Lee on some guy's leg. Veryimpressed. Had a few drinks and talked about old school metal.
31 December 07
Kenny Tattoo Dan Mitch and I drove to the Boss Brothers (Monster Energy Ball of Steel guys) hotel. Daniel and Beau Gonzalez. Preston andBrandon Landers. Stacy. We took the ferry across the Hudson River to New York City where we started walking towards Times Square. Boughtsome gloves for a dollar from a street vendor because it was fucking cold and got some dinner in the nearby mall. Walked around the city allnight and ended up bar hopping on the Lower East Side, getting kicked out of a few irish pubs along the way. Spent New Years chanting "wedont like carson daly" with drunken irish guys, burlesque dancers, and crazed party goers in a badass punk/metal bar where they strangelyshowed hardcore porn on the tv monitors at all times. Weird.
1 January 08
I was designated and after the ball dropped for New Years and the celebrations were coming to an end, we all took cabs back to the Ferry andcaught the last Ferry back to New Jersey. Dropped Tattoo Dan off at the airport and drove Kenny's "Adrenalin Crew" Avalanche back to Marylandto pick my car, slept the whole next two days pretty much. Needed it.
5 January 08
Thursday night I picked up my futon, the last of my furniture at Kennys house, in order to consolidate and bring everything down toGreensboro NC to my new apartment, my first apartment on my own (I've always lived with other people) so I'm excited. It's like being onvacation every day. Relaxed. Chill. I love it. Woke up the next day and drove to Hanover PA for sitting number 6 on my sleeve with Eric Willis from ADRENALIN CREW andthen went out to Angels Rock Bar in Baltimore for the bartender Heather (Reckless Steve from ADRENALIN CREWs girlfriend)'s birthday, everyonewas there, Willis Kenny Steve myself bunch of other ppl
6 January 08
Drove to Greensboro NC to take more of my stuff down for my apartment next to UNCG. Took a few days off.
9-13 January 08
Drove back up to DC to work the International Motorcycle Show at the Washington Convention Center in DC. Load in Thursday with Kenny andMitch. Worked the show Friday Saturday Sunday. Friday we went out to irish pubs in Chinatown with the Boss Brothers, and the Umbrella Girlsfrom the IMS show, Katie and Shannon. Saturday included an autograph signing by Travis Pastrana, X Games Gold Medallist "King of the DoubleBack Flip", and Street Bike Tommy stopped by on Sunday to help work the show. Sunday night Kenny took us out to Mongolian Barbeque inBethesda MD as a thank you for helping out with the show. Snagged some Monster Assaults at the end of the show, badass flavor. Took a lot ofpictures and video this weekend. Baller hotel courtesy of IMS and Kenny.

16 January 08
Photo Shoot with Brianna Anderson. Turned out very well. I'm happy.
Scheduled to record a cover of "Hurt" with Fierce Allegiance (including Kris Norrisfrom Darkest Hour, myself, Ken Olden from Damnation AD, Ben Allegiance, Chris Coelho, JP Corwyn) combining elements of NIN and Johnny Cashversions with an original twist influenced by In Flames / Metallica. Cant wait for everyone to hear it. Recording postponed until January29th on off days between Darkest Hour tours. Looks like I'll be coming back up to DC at the end of the month. Been working on FierceAllegiance's CD for over a year, actually left the touring lineup recently to pursue film school in North Carolina, so I will not be playingshows unfortunately with Fierce, but I will continuing to complete, market, and shop the CD release as Fierce is scheduled to be showcasingfor labels in the near future with the assistance of Producer Ken Olden (Tila Tequila, Fall Out Boy, Weezer). I've written a lot of new musiclately, not sure what I'm going to do with it.
23 January 08
First meeting last night with a new friend and photo client, Hayley. Took some badass portrait style shots with misfits gloves. They look gorgeous, cant wait to edit. Today, I shot all day with my good friends Samantha Faust and April Denson (Emet Suicide from Suicide Girls). Turned out sooo amazing, cant wait for everyone to see. Filmed Behind the Scenes with my FLIP VIDEO recorder, will be editing tomorrow and posting online, updating the video journal for 2008. Americaaaa, fuck yea.
26 January 08
Tonight, I got together with my friend Heather Meek and took some pretty wild experimental pictures by candlelight working on some darker themes. Spent a lot of time working with light and shutter speed.
27 January 08
Well, its Sunday evening and I'm editing pictures from today's shoot. Today was my first photo shoot with Lyndsey Bass, and I have to say, I had an amazing time. The pictures turned out incredible and we work really well together so I am sure we will be shooting again sometime soon.
30 January 08
It is 2am on January 30th and I have not slept in about 40 hours, I'm so exhausted omfg. I left Greensboro at 3am yesterday and drove all night to Maryland to pick up gear for the studio, then to Pennsylvania to pick up Kris Norris, the guitarist from Darkest Hour, and drive us both to the studio in Springfield, VA with my Producer Ken Olden from Damnation AD (Fall Out Boy, Weezer, Tila Tequila). We recorded a cover of Nine Inch Nails classic song "Hurt" that turned out so fucking amazing, I am so proud of everyone, each and every member of the band really stepped it up and it shows! I hope to have rough mixes soon that will be posted online within a week =). Aside from that, had a great time hanging out with all of the guys, (yes got it on film) pics up soon!, and was informed that my Producer is currently shopping the new Fierce Allegiance album to a few labels in particular trying to get it picked up, which is very exciting for me. Also a possibility of a European Tour this summer! Details to be announced. Stay stoked. heh

5 days and 1381.3 miles later, I have just arrived back at my apartment in Greensboro NC. the studio recording was a success and i got to spend time with some of my best friends while visiting DC. i'll be home in Greensboro NC for 4 or 5 days (off) before i have to drive to Chicago for the next date on the International Motorcycle Shows tour with Adrenalin Crew and Mitch Levy, so msg me to confirm any and all photo shoots, ideas, etc! talk to you guys soon

12 February 08
Still recovering from jet lag and exhaustion from working the show in Chicago. Tour dates really take a lot out of you. See, ours are different from shows I've played with my metal/hardcore band, motorcycle stunt shows last 12 hours and require set ups before and after the days events. My apprentice Mitch and I flew out from BWI Friday morning at 9am, connected through Charlotte and went on to Chicago arriving at 2pm. The International Motorcycle Show opened at 4pm and we worked straight through until closing Sunday around 4 in the afternoon (23 hours of show time) plus many hours of set up, breakdown, and prep time before and after. Got to see a lot of old friends from out of state and being the last date on the International Motorcycle Show tour, with Daytona coming up in 2 weeks, it was good to see everyone one last time on the tour. Video up soon! I'll be back in Greensboro NC on Valentine's Day
14 February 08
Day of rest in my apartment in Greensboro NC. i love it here. i cant wait to move everything down and get situated. message me if you want to set up a photo shoot, im sooo down to try new things

Morning After. Drove to Maryland meeting up with film crew from Warner Brothers to participate in set up of Adrenalin Crew official store on Main Street in Daytona Beach, Florida for Bike Week. Adrenalin Crew, now in its 3rd year, is the first ever Sport Bike related store on Main Street for the entire history of Bike Week in its 60-70 years of existance. The original store location was placed by yours truly in 2006 and continues to thrive until this day. Stokedd.
612 Main Street. First Week. Merchandising Set Up.
Mitch hard at work at the AC Shop!
In addition, Adrenalin Crew will be performing live stunt shows every day of Bike Week at the Flea Market and Swap Meet (Video Coming Soon) and the entire process will be broadcast online live through Warner Brothers at www.adrenalized.tv : No longer apart of the formal film crew, I have graduated to co-star in this best selling motorcycle stunt series and will be filmed as such during Bike Week. Expect a lot of texts because I'm not allowed to be on the phone during work hours (18 hours a day) and will be working 7 days a week! Sacrifice for success, as my mentor claims.
We pretty much own Daytona.
Stunt Shows Every Day.

Short break from the mayhem as a friend drove up from Gainesville, Florida : Tiffany Quinn. She is new to modeling and was interested in developing a portfolio. I was excited to do this for her to help her get started and the shots turned out amazing. She used them to set up a www.onemodelplace.com account and the offers (including European calendar shoots) started pouring in immediately! Thats what I like to see!

Shooter Jennings. Winston Salem NC. Love his music, esp "Gone to Carolina" and "Slow Train" with the Oak Ridge Boys. Also known for his portrayal of father Waylon Jennings in Walk the Line (the shitty apartment where the phone got shut off because they weren't paying their bills which caused Johnny cash to take his check to the bank and tear it up in front of the teller). Anyways Shooter Jennings is amazing, and I hope to work with him again soon. Next Time: Portraits!
