Merry Christmas, Ya Filthy Animal

Another Christmas time come and gone. Ever since moving to Florida we haven’t had the usual huge family get together’s like we did in California. It’s especially been smaller the past few years with my brother gone on deployment. I think the best one we had as a family was picking up my brother from his deployment a week early and surprising my parents on christmas eve, that moment will always live with me.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas, making memories and enjoying loved ones company. I couldn’t have two people next to me that I wanted badly but there’s always next year.





Winter is coming!

The last biggest car show was here and now its gone. It was a great way to end a freaking crazy year. Like last year I helped out my good buddy Nickoli from Simply Clean to cover the event. Hopefully I did a decent job, I’ve been up since 5am so I was starting to crash hard towards the early afternoon. Anyways, I’ll post more pictures here as soon as he posts up the article on his site. I added some teasers for now but hopefully I’ll have the full set late this week or early next. Till next time!

**UPDATE**

Article is out! Short but sweet over at Simply Clean.

Simply Clean 6

Another year and another amazing time at this year’s Simply Clean event. We come to Destination Daytona at 7:30am and the long lines were already forming outside. This year was a little different for me personally because I was secretly working on my car for the past 3 weeks as my full fender flare kit from Circuit Garage finally came in almost a year and 3 months of waiting. You had no idea how hard it was not posting any updates on my progress, only my girlfriend Roxie knew about it. My boys at De’Caudella’s auto body shop did an amazing job on Summer and with the attention she got at CCW Pre-Meet and Simply Clean 6 show it was all worth it!

The show it self was good as well, Nickoli always puts the right mix of cars inside the pavilion. As always its the meeting of old friends from all over the east coast that you don’t regularly see is awesome. I also met a lot of new faces too from my instagram which was always nice to put faces behind the screen names. Thanks again Nickoli and the rest of the staff at Simply Clean, you made another successful show. Time to see what’s in store for 2015! #sc7prep

SoWo 2014

Finally got around to finishing up the last bit of photos from SoWo. Had a blast but I’m definitely seeing an age gap with all the hard drinking and partying. It kept a good crowd at our hotel parking lot so it wasn’t all too bad. Anyways, this will probably be my last SoWo as I want to use my vacation time and money on bigger trips, like Japan and Germany for car events. Enjoy the photo set everyone!

Sowo 2014

Sorry for the lack of updates everyone, reason being there wasn’t really much going on after the Rolex race. Thankfully May was a nice busy month of snap some pictures with SoWo and Formula D Round 3 in Miami. I’ll be posting up SoWo pictures first later tonight or tomorrow. For FD I have to wait till canibeat releases my coverage as I was shooting for them. So stoked they got me media this year, hopefully it will be a annual thing that I can do that for them. Here are a few teaser shots from both events, stay tuned for more!

Roar of the Racekors

The 2014 Rolex 24 came and went this past weekend at the Daytona International Speedway. This year I camped out in the infield for the full experience and it was awesome. Race cars, camping, friends, food, beer(lots), I mean what more could you have wanted. I’m still editing pictures but I had a chance to finish a few, here are some teasers for now so enjoy and expect tons more within the next few days.
