*Born and raised in Southern California, the world's mecca for custom cars, I have enjoyed working on things with wheels since I was a kid. I got interested in stereos & alarms in the 1980's, then by the early 1990's was working on custom suspension and sheet metal fabrication. As a hobby i designed custom concept model cars for toy companies like Mattel & Revell which were mass produced for children.
*I opened my own shop in the mid 90's building custom show cars from the ground up, doing everything in-house. Continuing to gain a reputation for quality work in the industry, I was commissioned to write articles for toy, bike, and car magazines like Lowrider, Lowrider Bike, Truckin, and Scale. In addition, I have appeared on TV shows like Cruzin with Funk Master Flex, and the Travel Channel's Kings of the Road.
*When Ryan, the owner of West Coast Customs-California, got word of the work i was putting out in my own shop, he invited me to work with him and his crew...where I continued to build cars for clientele like Snoop Dogg, Paris Hilton, Shaquille O'Neil, Kobe Bryant, Carroll Shelby, to name a few. In 2007 we started filming Street Customs, the TV series, Season 1 with Discovery Channel where I worked on the show as one of the key fabricators. Since West Coast Customs went international- with locations in Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Germany, Russia, and Dubai...I had the opportunity to come here to build projects for the region's more prestigious clients.
