Who has had the biggest influence in your life? Why?
My family has had the biggest influence in my life. They have embedded a hard work ethic and taught me to never give up.   

Who or what has been the biggest influence on your riding? Why?
Jackson Hole,Travis Rice and the ill crew have all helped me progress and influenced my snowboarding. Rice pushes me in every aspect of riding.

How did you cross over from amateur to pro, is there a story behind it? 
I don't really consider myself pro. Rice is pro.  If there was one thing in particular it would have to be filming for the Comunity Project.

What other hobbies / activities are you currently into, what do you do when your not riding?
Fishing would probably have to be my second favorite thing to do, but i love to skate and hunt too. Anything that keeps me in good shape.

Candle light dinner with girlfriend or McDonalds drive thru on the way to the mountain? 
I'll cook breakfast for the girl then go ride with the bros.

Probably overshooting this table in Aspen was the scariest thing so far. I had so much hang time to flat. All kinds of crazy shit went through my head in the air.
