Growing up in Los Angeles, you're always surrounded by cars. There's no escaping them. For me, that meant sitting in traffic on my way to my baseball and fùtbol games from the age of 4. Maybe that's where it started for me - watching all of those pretty colored hunks of metal rolling by. Other than that I had no connection to automobiles while growing up, as sports was what I knew. But that changed around 16 or so. I had moved on from baseball and started getting into photography. I just happened to get my license around that same time. At that point I started realizing that there's more to cars then slaving away in traffic from point A to B.

Fast forward some years, and my new found interest and passion
eventually crossed paths. And that's my story, at least as of July
20th, 2010 at 12:48PM. However it happened, I've built up a body of
work that I'm very humbled to be able to share with you guys. Big
thanks to the crew at Speedhunters for the opportunity. Hope y'all
enjoy!
