That’s right, my schedule is open for quick design projects. Please refer to my portfolio for working examples. No websites! 

Let’s make magic!

Hello world. 

‘I know I may be the first one to forget, but I appreciate the air I’m breathing’

This past weekend I was reminded how fortunate I am to do what I love. I wake up every morning and have the freedom to create whatever I wish. As much as this is truly a blessing, this is also something that I’ve chosen to create as a reality for myself. 

Before I begin this blog, I would just like to say that if you wake up for too many days in a row and are not completely happy with what you are doing, I encourage you to stop what you are doing and start doing what you love.  Immediately. Hustle. Grind. Do what YOU have to do to make it happen, because ANYTHING is possible at this point. 

On Friday I arrived in Columbia, SC with my brothers in It’s Alive in order to play Sprung Out 2010 put on by local radio station Power 93.5. The band has been receiving regular radio play in the area and were invited to play alongside the likes of Papa Roach and Non Point. 

I was invited to ride along to document the trip and put together a video montage to release along side  their debut full length album ‘Human Resources’ on Wind-Up Records. 

Zach on our way to South Carolina, felt really good to be back on the road. 

Had a blast with each and every one of these dudes this weekend.

Needless to say, we celebrated our arrival in Columbia without hesitation. 

Everyone’s favorite guitar tech, Maxwell Stevens was along for the ride as well.

Each member has this tattooed on their fingers, brotherhood.

I would have taken more pictures from more angles at the show, but the rain was hindering my performance as I didn’t want my camera to get soaked. Needless to say, it was a very successful weekend and you will be seeing a lot more footage very soon! 

It’s such a pleasure to have known these guys for so long and to be able to work with them so closely. 

Thanks to Zach, Clay, Juice, Eddie, Jes, Max, Bobby for a great weekend, stay tuned. 

Be back on the road soon enough. 

Peace & Positive energy, spread it.
