Help Save Trestles

2008-01-25T12:05:00.000-08:00

Tell the California Coastal Commission to Save Trestles

San Onofre State Beach and the famed surf at Trestles are under threat by the proposed Foothill-South toll road. The California Coastal Commission has an opportunity to protect these precious open spaces and coastal resources in October. Let them know that it is unacceptable to allow destruction of a State Park for an unnecessary highway project.

The proposed Foothill-South toll road in Orange and San Diego Counties is one of the most environmentally destructive transportation projects in California history. By running 4 miles down the length of San Onofre State Beach, the road would effectively destroy the interior of the park and close the San Mateo Campground. All while threatening the world-class surf at Trestles and driving numerous endangered species towards extinction.

San Diego Wild Fires

2007-10-23T10:15:00.000-07:00

So sorry I haven't posted the last few days. I have been in the middle of some pretty crazy wild fires!!!! Yesterday I left work early to go pack up everything. More to be on the safe side...since I have never been in a wild fire. Anyway the house seems to be okay I hung out there most of the night. It's pretty smokey at times. It kind of seems like what a war zone would be like or maybe if a volcano went off. I took some pics so I will post those soon. Please pray for everyones home and for the people that lost their homes. Also that they can stop the fires. Thanks.

My Thank You Letter to Supporters

2007-08-28T23:04:00.000-07:00

This is a thank you letter to my supporters...but I thought it does a good job of an overview of my trip to Japan. So here it is. Thanks babe for the idea!!!

Dear Friends and Family,

I wanted to start out by thanking you from the bottom of my heart. I have just returned from my amazing mission trip to Japan, and it was all made possible by your generous donations and God’s grace. I am so thankful for your support and I wanted to give you a brief overview of what I did while I was there and how I saw God moving. The team that I traveled with was Walking on Water’s Team, co-working with Christian Surfers Australia and Christian Surfers Japan; 12 people total. None of the teams had met before, but by the end of the trip we had an awesome team unity and great friendships based around God’s purpose. The first place that we traveled to was the city of Miyazaki. It was wonderful to see a different side of Japan than what I was expecting. It was so much different than Tokyo, much more rural and slow paced. The area was full of surfers and nice beaches, which our team definitely enjoyed. The next place we went to was the island of Tanegashima, which was even more untouched and remote feeling than the first area we went to. The primary jobs the natives had were fishing and farming. One cool thing about this island is that it is where the Japanese Space Program is stationed (so we were able to see the launch pads and such from a distance). It also feels like the North Shore of Hawaii. It is known as one of the best surf spots in Japan, which means there are always a ton of surfers flocking to the beaches. We used the super surf to our advantage and were able to interact with many more surfers than we had first expected. While I was in Japan, it was amazing to see how God used us. We gave out free DVDs and flyers for our upcoming movie nights using the few Japanese words we knew. It was difficult to try to talk with the individuals that we came in contact with, but through God’s mysterious ways we were able to connect with them all. Once we met with surfers and other beach goers we were able to hang out and build relationships. Through our surfing, hosting meals and other interactions we gained trust and familiarity with all of the people. As a result of our team cultivating friendships we were able to see over eighty individuals show up for each movie premier. The movie was entitled Noah’s Arc and it has a clear message of the gospel in Japanese. We were stoked at the turn out for both of these showings and really had God to thank. Through all of our efforts and outreaches, we were able to see three people come to Christ for the first time. Praise God, new brothers and sisters. While we were there we also ran two surf camps and were able to teach lessons one-on-one to people that had never even been in the water or had the chance to try surfing before. Again, I want to thank you for all of your support and prayers. While I was in Japan, God really showed me how to trust in His plan. Because of the language barrier, I was forced to have confidence that God would move through me. Back in the States I think I rely more on myself, but through this trip it has shown me that I really need to put my faith wholeheartedly in Him and His plan for my life. This was such an amazing opportunity to see God working in a culture outside of my own and I look forward to future adventures.

Pictures are UP

2007-08-24T22:03:00.001-07:00

I've loaded my photos from the Japan trip. Check out the link under "Special Links" to see them all. ENJOY!!

PS I'll post about the trip soon.

The Rising Sun Mission Trip

2007-07-31T10:07:00.000-07:00

Hey Everyone! So I leave super soon to go to Japan with Walking On Water. This Sunday to be exact! Anyway if you read this, be praying for our team and safety over there. God is going to do some amazing things.

Here are a few pics of a surfboard from JC (not Jesus, but a surfboard company) that I painted on that we will be giving away.
I wasn't able to get real wild in my style, but I am still pumped on how it turned out. I know it will be blessing in a Japanese kid's life. I have a board that's broken in the garage that I am hoping to do a wild painting on when I get back.

Thanks Carlee for taking these pics while I was working<3

Also there is a picture of Todd who will be leading the trip to Japan...he looks more normal than this!!!!

One more also...I will post some Subtext art show pics tonight or tomorrow once I get the pics from my lady!! I forgot my camera in the car. Peace and love.

A Piece of History

2007-01-29T22:01:00.000-08:00

So today Carlee sent me some emails with surfboards for really cheap. I found one on there for 15 bucks so I called the guy and said I was coming for it. It is a 7 foot single fin. I figure I can fix it up a bit and ride it for a little...Todd says that it will wreak my surfing if I ride it to much b/c this things a hog. This is prob. from the 60's or 70's. Well I hope you dig on it and if anyone comes to visit they can ride on a little history. Bye and Good Night.

My New INT Surfboard "Before Pictures"

2007-01-18T10:51:00.000-08:00

So this past week I was looking at surf boards on craigslist and I was super bummed b/c even used boards cost lots of money.
So I just prayed about it and asked God to let me not worry about it. And the next day afterwork I was suppose to meet a friend Drew at play it again sports, but he couldn't make it so i decide to still go look...long story short I found this INT Board and got it for 20 bucks. I realized when I got into the car that it was all God!!! It was super crazy!!!! Then on monday I took it to INT and they checked it out and weren't sure if they could fix it? But on tuesday I came back to see if they were able to fix it and they did and they did it all for free!!! The best company in the world!!!!!! So now I have a basically brand new board!!! From JC!!!! Crazy!!! I could sell the thing for 200 buck now and I got it for 20...well I hope this get you all pumped up!!!! Bye
its work time!!! I will post new pics later this afternoon.

my new experimental cover letter!!!!!

2006-08-25T15:27:00.000-07:00

So I just created this new cover letter...feel free to use it for your own jobs as well:

Dear Billabong,

When I saw your recent “Graphic Designer” posting on Malakye, it reminded of when I was a young hobbit (or designer) with a dream of wanting to become a great warrior in Mordor (or the action sports industry). I have been training for many years (at the University of Michigan studying graphic design) and have now learned to use my sword. I believe that my sword work could be well used by your Kingdom (or The Kingdom of Billabong). I have already slayed many dragons on my way and I continue to grow as a hobbit warrior. Please kind sirs take me on as one of your own.

As you can see from my resume, I am a graphic designer that graduated recently, from the University of Michigan’s School of Art & Design with an emphasis in Graphic Design.

I previously worked for the University’s Graphic Design Department, which has provided me with knowledge of how a design department works. I am familiar with all aspects of print design, from client interaction to dealing with printers,
and most...

Tonight I got home a little swimming session at the oceanside beach. Then I went to get some food at the store and i went to blockbuster to see if they had a cool video game like one where you save the world or something like that, but they didn't so I left and came home and ate dinner and watched a little tv. Then I helped my wonderful girlfriend carlee with apartment searching...hopefully we find a winner!!! It sure is hard find places to live...i just want a tent! I have also been talking to Adam Gross a famous DJ from the great north cal. He was very sad that there wasn't an update so he it is!
