Independent Ventures

I'm always in pursuit of work worth doing.

Each venture continues to live on in some way even when it is not my primary focus. In all personal ventures my goal is to make others' experience of life and work better than I found it.

Badweather Designs

This passion project was many years in the making. It all started when I couldn't find just the right motorcycle luggage for a cross country trip that had the right blend of function and aesthetics and decided to make my own. A few years later I began refining my leather working craft and Badweather Designs was born.

I've been taking pictures since my dad gave me his old 35mm Konica my senior year of high school. After college I turned that hobby into a business that I've come back to in various capacities throughout the years.
