I studied Art and Design at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo before taking work at Surfer Magazine. I spent over 4 years working as both Assistant Art Director and Art Director at Surfer. While at Surfer I spent my nights designing for bands and working on the clothing project The Ryde. I'm currently focusing my attention on The Ryde while making art, playing music and taking on compelling freelance projects.
