  • When did you start skating?

I started skating in 7th grade, a couple of my friends had skateboards, and I was like woah, I wanna try that, the first real skater I met was Shane, I saw him skate after school a lot. And then I just ended up skating with him, Javier, Carlos, and my Little Brother came along.

  • Who were some early influences on your skating?

I would have to say Andrew Reynolds, Chad Muska, and Eric Koston, they were the first skaters I was really into.

  • Do you think skateboarding is going too Mainstream?

Yes and no, Yes because I dont like to see Jocks in Skate stuff because its not made for them, they give it a bad name. Like i'd see people with Element shirts and hats, with some ghetto air force 1 shoes and all they say is that skaters suck, and i'm like "what's wrong with these poeple."

  • What else do you enjoy besides Skateboarding?

I like to hang around and eat at In-n-Out a lot. I like to drive but I need a license so that will take a while, and I also enjoy to listen to music.

  • Do you have any future goals?

Well, Hopefully skateboarding works out someday, but if that doesnt work out, I will just get into the skateboarding business world and work with companies and I am plannin to start my own skateboard shop, so that will be cool. And I have to finish high school because I didnt go to school all of those years for nothing.

  • Any last words?

Fallow your dreams, keep doing what you wanna do and dont let any body stop you; and have a good time all the time, and I thank God for everything I ever had--Peace!
