Profile:
When did you start riding?: I started riding when I was 14 back in 1997.
When/how did you know BMX is what you wanted to do as a career?: Every kid that rides wants to do it for a job as soon as they hear it's possible!! I figured out that I could actually do it full time back in 2003 when I started making good money and got into the X-Games.
Who do you look up to and why?: I look up to my Dad because he is a smart Godly man that loves the Lord, his family and always has the right words at the right time!
What is your favorite spot to ride?: it really depends on the day and how I am feeling, but probably Lot-8 at Woodward in PA. I always have a great time out there!
What are 3 things you never leave home without?: Shoes, my pocket knife, and my phone!
Favorite Food?: It's a split between Mexican and Sushi!
Favorite Movies?: Snatch, Predateor, 300... all the good ones!
Favorite TV shows?: The Big Bang Theory, Seinfeld, Dexter, Justified...
Favorite Music?: Metric, Zeppelin, pretty much anything but country...
