What got you into skateboarding?
My brother and my cousin when I was 6.
What is your skate scene like in your city?
Not too great to be honest. Allentown, PA has very minimal spots and a limited group of shredders which can be unmotivating
What is your go-to trick to start your sesh?
Variel heelflips/ 360 flips
Do you feel skateboarding has changed your life? How?
It for sure has. I grew up traveling to contests and that alone has taught me a lot about real-life scenarios.
What pro skater inspires your skateboarding?
Probably Nyjah because we have similar tricks and I look up to his effortless style a lot
Do you prefer watching skate videos on social media or buying it? Why?
Buying from local shops! Always support those who support you! And there’s no better nostalgia than to pop in an actual DVD to tv and sit and watch it
What is the gnarliest trick you have ever done? How did you feel when you landed it?
That is a tough question. I have a few gnarly ones in different ways. If I had to choose, I would say my airwalk finger flip to Benihana.
Tell us a little bit about your local skate shop & what they do for the skateboard scene?
I ride for Penn skate skatepark in Allentown, they are the area’s biggest and last standing indoor skateparks. They provide an awesome indoor skatepark to get away from the elements and have a place to skate.
What is your daily routine before you go shred?
Not too much honestly. Normal day to day stuff. I like to think of new tricks that I want to do that day.
Any inspiring words you want to tell the next generation of skaters?
Growing up I fell off track a lot because of other hobbies, cars, girls. If you think you have it in you to go somewhere with skateboarding, you need to have tunnel vision. Focus on your goals do not get distracted it will take a while.
