i remember that day!

I took a 'client visit' day off work to come to this shoot. met the editor of the mag and how the pictorial was story based. it sucked because it rained all damn day and we spent 3 hours driving around beverly hills haha. I have behind the scenes pics still, but obviousy uploaded scans would pretty much do it.

frank and I hit up a barnes and noble to check out the mag last week rofl. but yeah, go frank, way to rep!

Excellent, Frank!

I’ve been fortunate enough to ogle it up close, ride in it, and learn much from its owner.

We are proud of your accomplishments and grateful for all of the knowledge you have shared with us.
You’ve earned the accolades. Congratulations on the recognition.
