What was your first board?

This Blind mini complete that I was too big for. Haha!

Skateboarders you looked up to as far as pros?

I took influence from a lot of locals like Brad, who later went pro, but I remember Chris Cole being a big one with his innovation. Walker Ryan’s skating impacted me a lot also. Andrew Reynolds & Jeff Lenoce being FL legends.

Where are you living nowadays?

Long beach in a Florida house.

Who is the crew?

It varies lately, since I’m juggling different projects. Working on this Shakejunt video, itll be Beagle, Doughnut, Jamie Foy, Nikolai Piombo and whoever else is down to roll. There’s also SICKHEAD, this homie video I’ve been working on with my friend David Stoessel and gang, Ronnie Kessner, Kevin Love, Tyler Bolar, and Troy Betances.
