It’s the soundtrack of a life spent outdoors, in motion, and paying attention.

I wear many hats because life is too short to stay in one lane. I ride motorcycles through Bay Area traffic and out toward winding coastal roads. I surf local breaks from Santa Cruz to Salmon Creek — and the quiet spots in between. I build things with my hands, including a Maloof-inspired rocking chair crafted from a black acacia tree felled from my own backyard, and a travel companion known as the Kook E. Box (yes, it’s for wetsuits).

All of this keeps me grounded, curious, and present, especially for my wife and children.
