The Los Angeles Rams

In 2019, I purchased the licensing rights to (4) Lower Club VIP seats for all Los Angeles Rams home games at SoFi Stadium, along with (1) Blue VIP parking pass and exclusive rights to purchase up to 8 VIP concert and special event tickets at SoFi Stadium at a HUGE discount. All of this, until the year 2068, essentially 48 years of ownership rights. Cheers Rams!

VIP Perks Included:

You have access to a dedicated, private entrance at SoFi Stadium. Your recommended entrance is American Airlines VIP Entry.

All club seat sections feature Wider Cushioned Seats than the rest of the stadium. Additionally, these seats are cushioned for superior comfort.

The Google Cloud Club is a climate-controlled club providing 360-degree access to the club and suite. Each quadrant of the Google Cloud Club features a unique themed bar with specialty food and beverage offerings, like exclusive whiskey, wine, & champagne lounges paired with sushi, bbq brisket, and specialty burgers.

Me and my seat neighbor Ken. He owns (2) seats right next to my (4) seats.

Surf Sundays in San-O

Been surfing longboards since 2016; many thanks to my great friend Creative Director Dani Kollin, for teaching me how to paddle. During a period of three years with Dani and Lisa, I enjoyed “Surf Sundays San-O“; it’s like church with these two, coupled with breakfast. Leaving LA at 4:30 am and hit the early morning breaks by 6:30 am. After about an hour, we’ll head to Pipes Cafe for breakfast. “Mr. Carlos Zuniga, it’s your turn to treat!” Sounds good, Dani!
