Who am I?
My journey began in Venice Beach, where the vibrant art scene and surf culture profoundly shaped who I am today. Growing up surrounded by surfers and artists, I found a deep connection between the creativity of the ocean and the creativity of art, leading me to pursue a path that blends both worlds.
Over the past 8 years, I’ve worked with artists like Jim Budman and JC to bring their artistic visions to life, specializing in art fabrication, installations, and curation. My role goes beyond managing collections—I collaborate with artists to design shows, build commissioned works, and create immersive experiences that engage audiences. Alongside my work in the art world, I also manage a collection of 25 vintage surfboards, primarily Lightning Bolt boards from the 1970s and 80s, which are featured in Venice Beach businesses and community events.
Whether I’m helping to build a large-scale installation, curating a gallery show, or organizing an exhibition featuring iconic surfboards, my work is rooted in a passion for art and surf culture. Venice Beach remains at the heart of everything I do, inspiring me to create connections between people, art, and history.
