  • Spring Kite at Sterling State Park

    I had a great solo session at Sterling State Park. It was really windy today blowing 30-35 knots as I rode my 7m kite. The waves were only waist-high a bit smaller than I expected, after a 12+ hour blow. With the temp. around 50 degrees and water not to chilly, it made for a fun early spring session. I rode for a couple of hours trying to get my board skills back after a long snowy winter. I took a couple really good tumbles too.

  • A Day at Atomic Object In Detroit

    I spend a day last week at Atomic Object in Detroit. It was great to visit and spend time with the AOD team. It was even cooler to be working less than 2 blocks away from where my great-grandfather had his clothing store.

  • Meet Teddy the Puppy

    My sister got a dog named Teddy. We finally got to meet the little guy this weekend.

  • A Visit to Atomic Object in Grand Rapids


    I spent a week at the Atomic Object office in Grand Rapids, and had a great time working on a couple projects and learning how things run on the west-side of the state. Have a peek and see software development in action, as I took a couple pictures on the last day I was in town.

  • Exploring the Frozen Lake Michigan Coast

    Casey and I headed to Muskegon to meet up with Marc to explore the frozen Lake Michigan with kites. Before we hit the coast, Casey and I headed to Muskegon lake to get him up and riding for the first time. He did amazing! He went upwind and even got a transition in.

    After we sessoning for a few hours we hit the coast for a sunset session. The ice buildup on the lake was absolutely amazing! It was as if there was a big swell that instantly froze in place. There were large mounds of ice then a football field of flat then another mound and so on until the open water.

    We cruised up and down the coast for a couple miles exploring the terrain. It was an absolute blast. Thanks to Casey for taking photos while I was kiting!

  • Feb. Snowboarding at Mt Brighton

    It was another beautiful day at Mt Brighton. We rode in the park and then got the camera out for a little. I wanted to test out a new rig for the go pro. Some of the shots turned out pretty good.

  • Snowboarding with Zach & Crew at Mt. Brighton

    I had a great session at Mt. Brighton today. The weather was perfect, 25 degrees and sunny. After riding, I spent sometime shooting in the park, since it had been a few days since my last post.
