Favorite city for skating, not skating, (why?)
San Diego- I can walk out my door, bomb the hill to the trolley, ride the trolley all over, skate the city and end up at a skate park for the lights out session.

Who/What're some of your influences?
Mike Henderson from Vox… That guy went from rags to riches while keeping it legit... full on skateboarding moves... He has a family that he loves, but still finds time to skate. Mike does all that while keeping control of one of the newest shoe companies out... that has got to be hard... I get motivated seeing people get'r done... Adam Crew-NutZ, for making Team Toe happen... big up's homie!!!

Favorite time period in skating?
There have been so many places… San Diego, CA for now, I love skating around the city and there is some pretty decent skateparks around too. B-town sessions... Silverdale homeland sessions… Jeff's mini ramp... Jesse's Ramp in Sunnyvale (rip)... the homies out on Ash Street in Boulder, CA holding it down with their sick ramp... anyone that let's me skate...

What's on the Ipod ?
Well it broke… but if it was working... Death CAB... (Strait up Bremerton kid!)... Notwist, Broken Social Scene, Pedro the Lion or anything emo... because I am a sensitive, emo guy like that...

What takes up your time outside of skateboarding?
Photography for sure... building things made of wood... Managing Projects… Kicking it like a super star at Dirks bar in grill in Lemon Grove... walking the miracle mile. Rolling the A4

What's a typical day in the life?
Well right now its all about getting up... bombing to the trolley. Skating all over downtown... hitting up the Little Italy ramp. Looking for a job. Hitting up El Cajon Park and then drinking till I can't see strait...

Pet peeves?
People who think skateboarding is a sport… People who hate on wiener dogs, Short legs long body you can’t flex on that. Yuppies cruising around in there BMX 325is, you can get to much of a good thing. Girls who hate on guys who skate after they turn 22, get a grip at least we are not throwing around pigskin wrapped bullshit and ass ramming each other to the ground.

Why do you still skate?
Skating is my life... I live it... Without it I would be nothing and have nothing... I will skate till I am crippled & then I will support Skateboarding till I die.

Whatchu thank?
Big ups to Team Toe... Pee Jays...Mike Estes @ Duffs
