Hello

About Me

I was born in Seattle Washington, but have traveled to Europe, China, Japan, and Korea. This summer will be spent living on Alki in West Seattle by the Puget Sound. My life is about creating. Everything for me is about taking an idea, and making something out if it. I am currently working on the development of a specailty BMW Motorsport retail shop called M-CARS, Seattle's only BMW Motorsport retailer, as well as a no-fee, no-commission art gallery called the Black Box Gallery. Over the years I have worked in the alternative sports industry and have developed products, managed athletes and played hard. I like doing almost anything. I draw for a few hours almost every morning, and I really enjoy doing personal sports like snowboarding, in-line skating, flying stunt kits, and riding bikes. I like making myself and others laugh, so I am not very serious with most things, but take my life seriously. My family is very important to me, and I have two amazing little kids.
