How I got started

For as long as I can remember I have always watch my older brother Nick completely destroying the local NSSA surf competitions. When I was eight years old he convinced me to paddle out with him. Then after that day I had formed a new passion, and was completely in love with surfing. Now it has become a way for our family to come together and hang out with each other.

Goals for the Future

Next year I want to focus on surfing as solid as possible. I want to keep progressing and make myself an all around more solid surfer. I also am going to strive to represent my sponsors with a positive and professional attitude. My goals for next year is to be top three overall in both of NSSA` open and explorer juniors divisions, and qualify for the championships in both divisions.

What inspires you to compete?

Surfing for me is and extremely personal thing. Two professional surfers that inspire me are joel parkinson for his smooth powerfull turns and Bruce Irons for his sick style and huge airs. I like to paddle out and see how hard I can push myself and be the best I can for no other reasons than self satisfaction and being able to do what I love doing.

Music?

rock n roll and rap

What do you want to be when you grow up?

When I grow up I want become a pro surfer and make it to the WTC. I know I have what it takes and I am not afraid of the hard work its going to take to get there. I know if I stay healthy and stay focused the sky is the limit.

How's Life Treating You?

Life has been good. Im surfing as much as i can and just been KEEPING IT REAL! I suggest you do the same.

Do you like to travel? What's your best (clean) road trip story?

i haven`t really traveled this year but i am going to costa rica and then hawaii and well see how it goes from there on!
