Biggest skateboarder influences these days:
the whole youthful movement challenging skateboarding as a sport and doing what they feel on their boards. It’s the most punk thing ever!

Favorite place to eat out at:

THE WHOLE DAMN CITY! Though I gotta ay staying local allows me more time on the board than traveling. And that’s the goal.

Torturing my back and bank account building stuff. It’s important to use our privileges, earned or inherited, to make our worlds better. Building stuff allows me to reach all skaters and subgroups without favor.
