Biography

It’s taken a minute, but I finally have a car I want to keep. Oh, and I actually became an automotive journalist after spending many years snapping pics for people who weren’t paying me very much. I got my start in the car world by showing up to drift events and being a media nerd, and being damn good at it. On the side I would draft up posts for myself, nerding out about the finer technical points of a 1UZ valve train, or waxing lyrical about the canyons being the greatest driving anywhere, at any price. After gigs at a restaurant, Six Flags, and a school photography service, I eventually worked my way into the Formula Drift media box. As I matured and became an actual adult (you could say my ‘journey’ started at age 15), my voice grew and I had something to say. Being a young, brown car kid had its tough moments, and it gave me the chip on my shoulder to keep pushing and prodding, to find my way into the industry and make a spot for myself., which I found with Car Bibles in 2020.
