My love for automobiles dates back to when I was a kid collecting Hotwheels and had car posters, magazine, and CarToons clippings all over my walls. I also enjoyed building model cars, trucks, vans, and motorcycles (and every now and then I still do). I even enjoyed drawing them and my favorite thing to draw was vans because I could add some pretty cool scenes on them. I even did a few tricked out motorhomes, man what I would give to have all my old drawings again. Also, my stepfather was a transmission mechanic. So I pretty much grew up around the shop and grease.

I have just recently got back into doing some artworks, but instead of drawing them I now use a digital camera and photoshop. And have plans take it to the next level....=]

I consider myself an Experimental Photographer, I love to shoot what I find interesting and not just one thing or subject. Born in northern Cali (1968) and raised in Anchorage, Alaska and now residing in Scottsdale, Arizona. I am a residential solar system designer and service tech, electrician specializing in lighting controls and automation.

I bought an Olympus C8080 WZ the Summer of 2005 and in Summer 2007 I got the E510 and in the spring of 08, I went to the E-3.

I love the great outdoors, Cars, Trucks, Bikes (mainly Choppers), and my line of work, they all give me a great canvas to work with. I joined MyRideisMe back in the summer of 2007 after meeting Craig Pike at the Pavilions in Scottsdale and I have been shooting for the website ever since.

I also try to live for the environment - living a sustainable lifestyle - reduce, reuse, renew, recycle, & A big 80's Hair-METAL fan ..\,,/.
