I sound like a broken record right?
I’m on the road and feel blessed to be doing what I love and getting compensated for doing what I love, it’s not work, it’s making my contribution to the world with the skills that I have…

So I headed West last week Orange County and LA to be exact, Wednesday through Sunday… Here’s what went down…

Ryan Sage Co-Founder of Formula Drift, co-host on Formula Drift TV and co-guests of the ducks here at Brueggers bagels in Irvine…

Ryan and I share many laughs, stories and drinks together over the years…

We hit the studio in Burbank our new haunts for VO…

Across the street is Porto’s, I’ve never had it but lemme tell you it’s a good ting, fattening and cheap, but banging!

Check out the NOS Energy Drink BLOG for some exclusive pics of me and Th Forsbergs and some Voiceover pics….

To infinity and beyond… words to live by if you think about it…
No where does this billboard say “Toy Story”…

Rolled to the Formula Drift office…

Andy “Ol Dirty Panda” is a Star Wars junky if you didn’t know…
He hit up the Vader Project and I’m jealous as it’s closed now…

Andy hooked my son up with a poster signed by the director and voice actors of the Clone Wars TV show and movie… DOPE!!!!! Thanks ODP!

Headed to lunch with Ryan and Bryan… Little siesta on a Wednesday at an LBC locale…

Voiceover done, now head to Irvine and OC aka The Orange Curtain to hook up with Vaughn Gittin Jr. and the “Smoke Show” crew for drift demo’s for 3 days 10-5 every day Fri-Sun, that’s a lot of tires….
We burn tires but this thing burns trash and doesn’t need roads where it’s going… Boom!

This is my boy Sean Smith…. He has a company called SEAN SMITH DESIGNS and ummm he’s wicked talented you heard it first…. unless you heard it from somebody else… this dude can draw whatever!!!
Hence me ooking up Sean with an INCIPIO Kickstand case for his iPad

My wife and I took our son Parker to his 1st concert ever this past week…
Angels & Airwaves was the band, figured it was gonna be a solid show, mellow enough but also enough guitar, drums and music for him to handle…

It ended up being a blast, thanks to David Kennedy the guitarist and Poway, CA (My hometown) native for hooking up the tix!

Before the show gotta grab some food and I’ve been telling my wife about this place La Bocca on Mill Ave in Tempe, AZ, my friend is the GM…
