What got you into drifting?

JDM Option Videos. Was the coolest thing I had ever seen (next to boobs, of course). The cars were all so dope. After watching a video I had to get into it. Turns out back then no one knew what it was. So I was one of the first, if not the first, guy around to do it. Back then we had parking lots and mountain roads late at night. Then myself and a few others created SD DRIFT back in 2005 as we wanted to grow the sport. Today I still head up SDDRIFT.

What else do you do?

Hunt, spearfish, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, off-road.

And for the bio thing
"Heard about drifting from one of the locals after following his car to where he was going. my first event was September 2017, showed up with nothing but a gopro and a helmet, 3 years later I swapped the gopro for an actual camera and immediatly found my calling. Of all venues I've shot over the years, none have the vibe of the thunderdome.

Weapons of Choice

Current gear:
2X R5 mk2's
100-500 F4.5-7.1
24-105 F4
70-200 F2.8
likely more in the future because lack of impulse control"
