I started my Career at Sierra Nevada
College in Lake Tahoe where I graduated with a bachelors degree
in Business Administration with a minor in Electronic Arts. It
was at SNC where I began to intern for Mack Dawg Productions, the
leading snowboard film company in the world. Mike taught me the
basics of filming and editing. After I graduated college, I hooked
up with Kurt Haller owner of MOTO XXX. I helped Kurt run his business
up in Santa Barbara, CA. My tasks included operating the race team,
creating and implementing the first freestyle team with Carey Hart
and Mike Cinqmars. In addition I made the MOTO XXX 3-6 videos with
Kurt where I organized film shoots, shot and edited the videos.
We created the ultimate punk rock music dvd called Eargasm. Eargasm
features live performances from top bands such as NOFX, Pennywise,
Bad Religion, Strung Out and many more. In 2002 I produced Mad
Mikes Mayhem. In 2003 I was approached by Transworld Motocross
Magazine to make their first ever motocross film Crush.
After Crush, I decided to fulfill the demand to the motocross
enthusiasts and show more natural terrain riding. Freestyle motocross
had progressed with tricks, however the trend had taken it more
to ramp riding instead of freeriding in the hills. I got together
with Doug Parsons and created the first ever-natural terrain
competition known as Ride to the Hills. I produced a half hour
TV show for the Fuel TV Network on the contest. In 2004, I hooked
up with my old boss Mike McEntire (A.K.A) Mack Dawg Productions
and produced On the Pipe. For this film, I decided to take a
chance and build all my own natural terrain jumps on private
ranch properties known as Danimals and Jackpot Ranch.
We created huge 180-foot hill jumps, off camber
hips, step-downs, cliff drops and other various freeride phenomenons.
On the Pipe features the top riders in the world including RC,
MC, Bubba Stewart. Ride to the Hills became such a success that
Red Bull approached me to become partners with us for 2005. In
2005 we produced the Red Bull Ride to the Hills which was shown
on NBC Jeep Adventure series and also on Showtime Network. In
December 2005 we released On the pipe 2 "Still Smokin". In June
of 2006 I completed a half hour show for Fuel Network on Ryan
Capes 310 foot World Record jump. We are currently filming for
On the Pipe 3 which already features bigger jump and more technical
riding. On the Pipe 3 will release November 2006. The next Red
Bull Ride to the Hills will be Octover 20th –October
30th 2006. In May 2007 we will release Eargasm 2 which features
live music performances from The Offspring, Social Distortion,
AFI, SEX Pistols, Rancid, Circle Jerks and more.
