Skateboarding has changed my life significantly! I would not have been able to see the amazing places I have seen and meet all the rad friends I have over the years had it not been for skateboarding. It has taught me to humble myself and that every time great takes time
What pro skater inspires your skateboarding?
My friends inspire me to skateboard and not just my friends that are pros but my friends that could care less about sponsors or the industry. The guys that are just going out and having fun without cameras or Instagram that just do it because they love it are the ones that truly inspire me.

I prefer buying videos, it is something tangible that you can enjoy whenever you want, and it does not get lost in the void of the internet

I usually get up about 6:30 am, drink a bunch of water, stretch, enjoy a little THC/CBD treatment, cook & eat breakfast, listen to some music, maybe watch a skate video, and then meet up with the homies
Any inspiring words you want to tell the next generation of skaters?
Do not worry about the politics of skateboarding. Have fun and enjoy the ride because it will be over before we know it
