Where did you grow up and where are you currently? How old are you?
I grew up in Springfield Oregon. 25 years of age.
Why’d you make the move to cali?
I moved for the year round riding. It rains a lot in Oregon so moving to Southern California made for more days in the sunshine.
How’d you get into riding?
My parents got me into riding. My dad took me to the BMX track when I was 5 and my first race I won and was hooked ever since.
What do you ride? Why?
I ride everything. Trails, park, street. I just love riding my bike and bring my style to any place I ride.
Who were your heroes growing up? Today?
Growing up I also looked up to Dave Mirra and Ryan Nyquist. I have Miracle Boy and Nyquist on VHS and would watch that over and over again. I am also a big fan of Justin Inman, Mike Aitken, Chase Hawk. Have always loved watching those guys flow around on their bikes.
Now I still love the same guys! Can never get enough of the Style Cats. Sergio Layos, Larry Edgar, Matt Cordova, Kris Fox. Pretty much anyone throwing the back end sideways.
What do you do day-to-day?
Day to days change for me all the time. Some days I will have shows with Team Soil. Other days I will be printing shirts and sewing hats. Other days I will be digging a bit at FOD or whatever set of jumps we are riding for the day. But no matter what even on my busy days around the house working I try to get out and ride. Some weeks are full of riding all day. I love that every day is different!
