IT’S OUT! Go check out Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery on Netflix or Warner Bros (jk)...and catch me in the credits!
It was a blast to work on this film and I’ve definitely been patiently waiting to announce this. I think I can retire now.
Shout out to my production team who are the best in the biz and to all the amazing faces I met and worked with over the course of this production. I won’t list everyone here, but ya’ll know who you are!
It’s been a fortunate year and it feels great to be able to go from feature to feature. Hoping to keep it up for me and for everyone. This film was huge for me, especially after seeing my name on the big screen IN THEATERS ALL OVER. I’m very grateful for this project and it’s made me excited for what’s to come for 2026.
Also shoutout @drakekonishi who took some cool photos! I have many projects that come out that I’m terrible at posting, but having a Drake around makes it a bit easier to remember.
Must say, proud of this one! Introducing 🏎️ “Fifty Years of the 911 Turbo” brought to you by @porsche , @hagerty , and RDP TV!
Watch the doc, scroll throughh some of my fav screenshots or just enjoy the BTS!
Honored to have produced alongside @heezyofeezy , and even more thrilled to have worked with the many amazing crews across states and continents on this one! Hagerty and RDP are top tier and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to work and learn from them. This project turned out so amazing, and judging by the comments already online, the work was well worth it. Thank you again to everyone!
Special shout to @kian1um , who has impeccable timing, as he left me a broken 911 in my driveway that we ended up fixing over the course of the doc. It was fun! but please, no more 3am headlight sanding sessions.
Some other notable highlights not pictured:
- Being seated at the fancy Porsche restaurant surrounded by million dollars cars...and deciding to order a hot dog.
- The excitement to work in the best automotive content era, especially with leaders like Robert.
- The various dashcam footage of picture car drivers getting pulled over while going home.
- Driving the 911 Turbo 50th Anniversary Edition and immediately convincing myself I'm having a midlife crisis so I can get a Porsche.
- Being seated at the fancy theater premiere surrounded by million dollar friends and...immediately ordering a hot dog.

🏁 Grind National Photo Dump. Had a blast hanging out with the boys in my hometown as they built a car for @killermike in 3 weeks for the Grammy’s. I personally learned a lot from this 69 team and learned that these guys can do practically anything. Constantly amazed. Check out the final episode of Grind National on @hemmings YouTube Channel!
Anyways, Thanks @suppymk4 can't wait for your influencer phase
Needed to make the first post of many for one of the most rewarding, yet grueling projects I've been on. It's your fault @donaldland@kristensreality and @davidmgutel .
I spent a year as UPM for @fortysevendaysfilm with the BEST people and it finally finished it's theaterical release in 900+ theaters. This will be the first of a few posts as I comb through the BTS and figure out how to thank the many people who trusted me with such a large role, who were patient with me, and who taught me how to elevate my game.
Check out some of my favorite production heavy bts moments

Starting off my round of thanks to PO team.
I couldn't have done it without guidance from Production / AD OG'S @secretlifeofmurph@cutterwhite@noahjohnson19
And hella support day in and day out from @so_treble and @aaronbrumback . Thanks also to PA team @sydbarbera river @kmaglonzo@deeboros@gwenderzz And the rest of ya'll
Happy Birthday to the man behind the bun 🎉
This year I want to say thanks to family and friends. Recognizing support while growing was a valuable theme this year. I still haven't been able to catch up with everyone, but thanks ya'll. This year was pure chaos (and definitely still going lol), but despite all the massive change, just know I still ain't cutting the manbun. 💇🏻♂️🙅🏻♂️. I'm looking at you @seanyeemclendon . But seriously, thanks to the family and friends.
Smoke and Mirrors? NAH! Smoke and Tires baby!!
I've had a blast working production for Hoonigan the past 6 months. Everyone I've met is so skilled, hardcore, and down right awesome. I'm glad I was pulled into this crazy world, and can't believe how fast these months have passed. There are some many things I couldn't fit in this slide, and so many people I wanted to get pics of/tags in here. Regardless, here are some notable moments and shots from my past few months. It was a pleasure working ya, I'll be back.
1. Me at the Toy Drive & Car Show
2. Travis Pastrana WRX Jump
3. Shop Team's Album cover
4. Yard Shennagians
5. Grip truck
6. Pigasus in Radiator Springs, AZ
7. Nala the shop dog + Josh
8. Fake Subaru dealership in MD
9. Rich and Sam

Made a goal for myself in 2022 that I would post more of my work. Didn't get around to it, so let's just say this is an early effort for next year.
In all, I wanted to give thanks to @jeffpross@jonthalinks for such an epic time. I had to get really creative with this one, including having the most mixed matched vendor line-up you could possibly think of. And yes... one of them was canes... I'm stoked to have met such humble and gracious people on this set. Thanks Thanks Thanks to the crew, you made this project come to life!
Also peep the last photo of @jeffpross realizing he bit off more than he could chew. SIKE! We ended up killing it.

"anyone know how to drive an excavator?"
"-Yeah"
"wanna smash cars on Sunday?"

This one goes out to @donaldland , @franke , and my childhood hero Bob the Builder. When faced with challenges, remember, "yes we can!" 🚧
Two truths one lie:
Witnessed Claire walk down the aisle.
Traveled by myself for the first time.
Cut the manbun for the wedding.
Thanks to all the homies who housed me over the weekend. I'll be back!
They said, "you've got a week to produce this K-pop video. Can you???" I said, "oh, man-I-can"
Couldn't have been more excited to see this come out. What an exciting and fast project. Pulled this together in less than a week and couldn't have done it without @davidmgutel and @danielspaceman in my corner (and more who I'll list later). Thanks to everyone that helped out. As for every project, I learned a lot, met a bunch of new people, and can't be more grateful for clients to trust me with their budgets.
Thanks again to the crew, and especially department heads. Shout out to ya'll.
