Tell us a little bit about your past ?

I started skating around 6 years old in a town called Everett, WA. I lived there until I was about 12 then moved out to Montana for a better life with my family.

Why skateboarding ? How did it start for you ?

My dad was an avid skater growing up until he was diagnosed with with cancer. Luckily he kicked it’s ass and a few years later bought my brother and I skateboards. He built us a wooden rail we could skate outside of our house, tonight us how to kickflip then it all went from there!

What size set up, wheels & trucks do you currently ride ?

I ride Powerflex Wheels sized at 56mm. I pretty much skate any trucks I can get but if I had to choose it would be Ace Trucks sized at 149!

I get way too stoked to skate so I just piece it all together and get to shredding!
