I have begun my yearly stint in Hawaii. Once  again I am the Associate Producer for the live broadcast of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing. We have had quite the flat spell out here and are patiently waiting to run day one of the Reef Hawaiian Pro. Here are some photos I have snapped this last week. Yehaw.

I am most likely checking Instagram or writing a email.

Awesome new video series out. Here is episode one.

While surfing the interweb I found some photos of a sweet night shoot with Nike I did this past summer. In the photos you can spot me standing around in a Nike shirt. Via la camera guy.

This week I logged about 175 hours working for Quiksilver for there new WCT event in New York. I was dibed the PM shift content manager. Apparently PM means rolling into work around 10am and stay till about 3am. My normal day consisted of waking up, walking to Starbucks, then walk to the event site, releave the live broadcast director for a couple heats, head into the the post trailer, work on next days rundaown, edit a story, gather footage requests, bumper a shit ton of videos, upload, email, walk home, got to be. Repeat 8 times.

Even though it was draining it was one of the best events. The production team killed it and the waves came up for finals. It was fun.

Here is a short I cut about Kelly Slater for the morning show that was broadcast all over the world along with the final day highlights cut but none other than the talented Drew Little.

This summer Nike and Grind TV asked me to field produce and shoot for there Nike Chosen Bus Tour. We had 9 stops all around the west coast and cruised around with some awesome guys. I got to relive my childhood dreams and go to Camp Woodward, Windell’s Snowboard camp and a bunch of cool back yard skate ramps and underground BMX spots.

Anyways here are a couple of my favorite shoots.

If you don’t know by now there was a hurricane named Irene. She came up from the south and took America by storm (get it?). Like most girls I know she cared very little about my plans and what I wanted to do but I was still looking forward to meeting her. I prepared mentally, got supplies, shaved, had a couple drinks to loosen up and most of all told my mom about her. Like the fool that I am I thought she would be fun to hang out with. Maybe we could share a few crazy moments together. Little did I know she ran me out of town. She quietly came over and spilt water all over my room. She even stole my hat as I tried to walk to a 7/11. She really didn’t even excite me much. Kind of a dead fish. The hype about her got me amped up but in person she was just kind of a drag. Set me back like most of the girls I have dated. Ill always remember her though. She may have not been everything I expected or wanted but Ill always remember her . . . for she was my first.

I have moved on now, her name is Katia and she’s coming over next week.

Here is Irenes mood. She was kinda cranky.

She looked good from a far.

All in all she really "blew"
