It’s true, I’m finally settling in here in San Clemente, CA. I found an apartment, finished my first week of work, and am going to learn to surf and I couldn’t be happier.

I ended up finding a place in San Clemente. Its a two-bedroom apartment that I share with a design engineer from Oakley. The location is fantastic because I’m 3 blocks from the beach, and only a 25-min bike ride to work. I took some pictures on the way to work the other day, and have posted them below for you to enjoy!

Since being here I’ve also gotten a few inquiries into some contract work, which is great. Although I’m totally swamped, 4 projects on the go outside of my day job, I look forward to working with some local businesses!

Now onto the job! Snowboarder Magazine has been amazing. I’ve already met some incredibly awesome people. Being able to work at a snowboard magazine doing what I’m doing is basically a dream job for me. I sometimes wonder how I got here and have to remind myself that this isn’t a dream. And I wish I could share with you all what I’ve been working on, but alas, I cannot.  But I will post pictures as soon as its appropriate!

I hope everyone’s doing well these days! Leave comments and tell me how your doing! I’d love to find out. I hope some of you are planning trips out here, we’ve got spots for everybody. And I’m sure beers on the beach is the only excuse you need to come down! Take care everyone!

My neighbourhood is so close to the beach!
