Home Mountain: Northstar At Tahoe
 
Favorite Restaurant?: Sushi Pier in Reno, Honistly its the best sushi I have ever had and its all you can eat for $20. Its not cheap but DAMN is it good.
 
Greatest movie of all times?: Right now I would have to say Step Brothers! That movie never gets old. "Chest Pubes down to my Ball fro!"
 
Most memorable moment in life?: Dew Tour 2010 podium! It feels so good to put work into something and having a good outcome!
 
When daydreaming what kind of fantasy’s come to mind?: Its me and a 500WHP Evo sliding sideways chasing down a Lamborghini. That or maybe me jumping my $300 1988 BMW
 
If there is something you could say you would “NEVER” try what would it be?: Maybe a 1440. That just seems like to much! I think if I spun that much id puke.
 
Who has inspired you the most to succeed in the snowboard world: Well, my friends for sure riding with my friends is always inspirational! Most of all though its my parents, they have supported me in so many ways and they have always supported my snowboarding. I want to make them proud!
 
What goals are you looking to achieve in the “action sports” world?: I would love to be a role-model for someone and have someone look up to me. Similar to how I felt about riders when I was growing up.
 
What were the sickest and worst fads that you and your homies went through?: Well, the sickest would have to be laid out backflips! Nothing feels as good as laying out a big ole backflip! The Worst might have to be something that Humpy did back in 04, he had a camouflage helmet cover that only G.I. Joe could love!
 
What mountain has the best park in your eyes?: Waterville Valley! That palma has created some of the best boarders in the world. Its great to be able to lap a park 100 times a day and get to watch your buddies ride on the way up! Plus Bill Enos is there and that guy is pretty much the Yoda of snowboarding haha.
 
Hot or cold? Which one are you right now?: Id say HOT its warm here at Government camp OR and I would rather be COLD because then I could sleep at night, But I'll do anything for Katy Perry!
 
Most nervous you have ever been dropping in to something?: That might be today 7/11/10 Frontside Double cork 10s Thank god thats over!
 
Last day of riding ever. Where are you and who are you with?: I would say if I could only ride one more day it would be all my friends and 4 feet of fresh on the backside of Mt. Bachelor
