Got to spend Tuesday afternoon in North Hollywood on assignment for an interview I had. By the time 3pm rolled around, there I was outside one of the most legendary recording studios in the industry. Metallica recorded their classic, “The Black Album”, KISS, Michael Jackson, Megadeth, Van Halen and many more legendary artists have recorded at. Getting to be inside this studio for...

Pretty stoked I was given more responsibility at work this past weekend. Definitely excited about it!
Best thing about my job.. Celeb spotting! Seen so many over the past year but tonight was pretty rad being a few feet from John Heder, Napoleon Dynamite to most!
Covering and photographing the return of Yellowcard later on today. Pretty stoked being asked by publicist to shoot this show!
1 Year..
Made it through my 1st year at Disney today. Pretty amazing getting to experience and seeing all that I have in the past 12 months w/ the majority of it spent as a Working Lead. Life as I’ve known it has changed quite a lot for the good. Finally admitted to someone how I’ve felt after quite awhile and it feels great. Got one of my biggest shoots in a few days. Can’t really...

1st Grad Night
Worked my 1st Disney Grad Night yesterday with a bunch of good friends of mine from 5pm - 230am. I didn’t know what to expect nor what it would be like either. I still recall my high school grad night at the park in 2001 and how different it was compared to working it last night. After a 9 hour shift doing part guest control, directing traffic and being a lead at the same time I can only...
Ten hours from now, I will be on the phone interviewing Circa Survive.
Less than two days from now, I will be at the Greek Theater in LA shooting 30 Seconds To Mars, Shiny Toy Guns and Street Drum Corps.
New Deftones and As I Lay Dying records have been on repeat. Two AMAZING treats the past two weeks on new music Tuesday. Both are going on pretty stellar tours this summer too!
Get it!
Food for thought.. You go out of your way for one of your closest friends. They tell you they are in a pretty big predicament and aren’t sure what they can do. It has a potential to mess up predetermined plans for the forthcoming weekend. You offer to come through and help them out in a time of need without even second guessing yourself. After all is said and done you helped out. Now...

Kind of a weird day at work. The majority of the department was at the funeral for my co-worker who died last week. 35 years at Disney is a pretty amazing thing and I do wish to do that as well! Hearing all of the stories I have the past week has been pretty cool knowing how great of a person they were. Prior to work, I had the opportunity to walk in the basin of the Rivers of America before...

Really looking forwards to the next few weeks at work.I have the best job ever!
Rivers of America CM walk-through on Wednesday morning before work
Canoe Races this summer
World of Color starting in a month and a half!
Three years later. A sold-out crowd jam-packed Chain Reaction in Anaheim, CA to mark the end of an era in our music community. Something many including myself didn’t want to believe, the end of Eighteen Visions. Pierce The Veil opened the show and rocked the shit out of the venue. The Dear & Departed put on an amazing show. Then it came time to say goodbye. This was by far the...
