Becoming a skateboarder at the age of six, the action sports culture has been a part of nearly my entire life. Being raised by my mother ,who had a natural eye for design, helped me to gain my appreciation for the arts. These two different focuses of my life have become my sources for inspiration to create the works I do. My mad obsession for sports including wake, surf, snow, kite, and skateboarding leaves me no other option but to submerse myself into this lifestyle entirely.
