Q&A - Personal
Why do you like this sport?
I don't only like one sport but all extreme sports! Probably the one that I'm most talented at is wakeboarding. Some of the others are surfing, bmx, MTB, snowboarding, skateboarding/longboarding, paragliding, dirt biking, paintball, mountain boarding, off-roading, wakesurfing, snowmobiling, and anything else that gets my adrenaline pumping. Something that I wanna do is also skydiving ASAP!
Music?
Most any music I enjoy and am willing to listen too. Some of my favorites are: Linkin Park, Rehab, 3 Doors Down, 311, Sublime, Trace Adkins, Johnny Lang, Jake Coco, Mat Kearney, Matt Costa, The Presets, M.I.A., The Cutting Crew, The Myriad, Slightly Stoopid, Deftones, Beastie Boys, Death Cab For Cutie, Soilwork, Emery, Citizen Cope, Kings of Leon, Imogean Heap, Andrew W.K., and many more which i'll add when I remeber them...
Why do you compete?
I have only been involved in one competition so far, and it was the "Noll Longboard Classic" in October at Cresent City, Ca. I also am prepairing for competing in wakeboarding this summer at an INT competition in Red Bluff.(Wish Me Luck)
Employment / Experience Summary
My first job ever was working at Oasis Watersports as a boat detail and yard attendent at the age of 16. One year after starting I moved up to retail shop manager where I dealt with customers looking at filling up their new boat with gear and and other boating accessories. I loved my job and dealing with the people in the boating/wakeboarding industry. Eventually my bosses sent me out on demos with possible boat buyers of new Malibu or Crownline boats. I would practically wakeboard weekly if not on my boat but on friends or customers boats. I was offered a different job almost exactly 2 years after my first job, I started plumbing locally with my step-father. Wasn't near as cool or easy going as the Pro-shop job, but it definately paid the bills much better. This winter of 07/08 slowed down alot in the construction industry, so I had to find a different job because I wasn't able to make as much money as I wanted, so I moved an hour north of home and started working at the Mt. Shasta Board and Ski Park in the Mt. Shop selling gloves, goggles, and other snowboarding accessories. Working at the park definately increased my boarding skills drastically. But once the seasons over I have to find a real job, and I have an opportunity to get into law enforcement so I might pursue an avenue in a Correction Officer at the Tehama County Jail. I guess we'll see where life takes me...
