OPINION

IRVINE, Judge.

¶ 1 Defendant, Joseph George Martinez, Sr., appeals his conviction and sentence for possession of methamphetamine for sale. He also appeals from the imposition of consecutive sentences for that offense and the separately charged offense of knowingly manufacturing a dangerous drag. We conclude sufficient evidence supports his conviction for possession of methamphetamine for sale. We also find no error in the imposition of consecutive sentences because the two offenses were distinct, could be committed separately, and imposed separate risks. Therefore, we affirm.
