When did you start skating and who or why did you get into it?
Not sure the exact date! Christain Hosoi gave me my first board when I was like, two or three. I would roll around on my knees and go down this hill I had in front of my house all the time. Around six or seven is when Christian showed me how to Ollie and 5050 red curbs! The next year he got me a classic Hosoi kicker ramp. That’s when I really fell in love with skateboarding.
What’s your go to trick when you first warm up the trick that says whether its gonna be a good shesh or not?
Ollie over a trash can standing straight up. If I don’t do it first try, my legs aren’t really feeling it! Hahahahaha
You ride for Stacks how did that come about?
Well one of my really good friends Sebo Walker hooked that one up!! Thanks Sebo!
What is your favorite skate trip you have gone on and was there total caos going on?
Every trip is kinda chaotic and super fun at the same time! But if I had to choose one, it would be the most recent trip to NYC. It was my first time there and I stayed at my buddy Danny Supa’s house. It’s a fucking concrete jungle man!! Painting and skating all day and night! Spots look sick on film and I like how it’s ruff as fuck, so its kinda challenging to skate a spot! Can’t wait to go back. There was a lil extra chaos on this trip though.. I went to jail for putting up a AutoBahn Wheel Co sticker by an undercover cop rolling around in a taxi! Shit sucked but I definitely feel like I got the whole NYC experience in one trip! Hardtimes but Goodtimes!!

Its cool. Don’t really think about it like that.
You came out with a video part for Hard Times but Good Times, how do you feel about your part?
I was fucking hyped that I had a part! But I don’t really like watching myself skate that much.

Just skating a good spot and having fun. I’ll skate with anyone! I’m all about positive vibes and having a good time.
