I find inspiration from: Mountains, there are so many different ways to look at it. They have so much power and how they change their look year after year.
If I could live anywhere: it'd be close to the ocean and mountains.
A good friend is: All my friends. Try not to be friends with dicks.
My motto is: live it , love it, learn it.
Most memorable moment this year: riding down line after Travis Rice, and looking back and Jeremy Jones is riding a line right after me. That was cool.
Your best day riding: everyday after good storm.
When did you start riding? I grew up next to a small ski hill. It's 185ft, vertical...haha. I was there everyday after school.
What drives you to get up and ride every day? Snowboarding. Everyday is different, you never know whats waiting for you.
Who are your main influences (on snow and in life)? Andy Irons.
What sort of music do you listen to? Pretty much everything. What ever gets me hyped.
How did you get to your level of snowboarding? Go hard in the paint, you will take beatings but just gotta get up and do it again.
Do you do other board sports? Surf and skate.
What would you be doing if Snowboarding weren’t your job? Who knows, I definitely wouldn't make it to the US. Unless I did make it in hockey, but thats an IF. I've always been into sports so probably something to do with sports.
Do you have spiritual beliefs? Nope
Do you think snowboarding has something spiritual? Nope
What are your plans for next year? Ride as much as I can. Push myself to the next level.
What do you get out of snowboarding? Everything. Love, hate, laugh, tears, excitement, and disappointment. Everyday you learn something new about the mountains and about yourself and your friends.
