I started nw-built back in the summer of 2010, with the hopes of giving local gearheads exposure by way of features. To my surprise, it quickly expanded to events, a forum, and merchandise. I never thought nw-built would be where it is today, and I owe it all to our fans. In my day job, I work as an Account Executive for a Social Media Marketing and PR Agency, freelance photography/web design by night, and in my free time I enjoy turning a wrench, drinking beer, and cooking food.

I’ve always had an interest in cars and just about a year or so ago I’ve been going to more and more events, exposing myself to new faces and beautiful cars. I’m learning a lot more about cars and expanding my knowledge. Around that time is when I tried my hand in photography and once I got started, I fell in love with it. Now that I am a part of the NWB team, I can do what I love and be around what I love. My passion for cars and photography go hand in hand. You can check out my Flickr here.

I love cars and capturing images, so nw-built lets me enjoy both at the same time. I can’t believe how technology has allowed the cars to get crazier, while it also allows us to share our culture with the world. I used to work for a major California speedway which is where I started to prefer “GO” over “SHOW”. My images have been used in the Science & Technology, Tactical, Search & Rescue and Airsoft industries. I have a more documentarian style, but I appreciate the artistic style permeating the automotive photography world now. You can check out my Portfolio here.

I got into cars back in 2009 with my 2005 Subaru RS, and shortly after I started taking photo’s at meets, beginning my passion for photography. Shortly after I started to do private photo sessions, then one thing lead to another and I joined the NWB Team! Where I can really expand my photography and hang out with beautiful cars!

The formula is simple: equal parts skateboarding, punk rock, cars, cheap northwest beer, hip hop, long walks on the beach, and photography. I love all cars, but have a strange affinity for small german cars powered by lawnmower engines. You can check out my portfolio here.
