Favorite place to ride

urban free, Tacoma doesn't get much snow so its rare

Did you know?

I experiment with deliberate sleep depravation, its free, careful driving though, always.

Who did you grow up shredding with? Derek Plourde, Matt Gadsby, Ralph Backstrom, Blair Habenicht, Matt Clark, Cummins Brothers, Tory Bland in chronological order.
Most memorable experience in your snow career so far? That's a really hard one to answer, but I think realizing that snowboarding is a lifetime craft for me changed my whole outlook. I gravitate toward people who are doing the same with whatever their passion may be. Life is meant to be enjoyed.
Goals for the coming winters? Keep my feet on the ground and head above the clouds, Givin Back to snowboarding.
Thanks Dakine and all who support the snowboard community.
