Favorite people to ride with? Bryan Iguchi, Mark Carter, Willie Mcmillon, John Makens, Kyle Clancy, Travis Rice, Kevin Jones, Mikey Marohn

Plans for the upcoming season? Put more of my heart back into my riding instead of what people “expect.” Don’t get hurt.

Scariest moment on a snowboard? Any avalanche situation is very scary, but last year in Alaska I felt like I could die most days.

Interests besides snowboarding? Skating, hiking, going to the gym, fast brutal metal music, guns, chillin with my girl, Amy.

Worst injury ever: Last season I hit a tree and tore my PCL, MCL, and severe bone bruise in my knee. Really messed me up physically and mentally as well.

Best website? Not sure. I find myself watching a lot of shitty netflix movies and shows.

Number of tattoos? 8

Standard skate trick? Melon grab.

Spit or swallow? As long as the task is complete that’s all that matters.

Guilty Pleasure? Oreos and mini Dr. Peppers.

Who is your favorite artist? Mike Parillo.

Creamy or crunchy? Peanut butter? Or music? Hippies like “crunchy jams” and hippies suck so I guess creamy.

If you were on death row, what would your last meal be? Rib eye steak. Fried potatoes, orzo.

Why did the chicken cross the road? He thought the grass was greener…

5 Things on your Bucket List: Tour Europe in the summer, see The Black Dahlia Murder live, get a cover shot, save someone’s life, be rich enough to go heli boarding for fun, not to film.

What was your reputation in high school? Punk ass.

Which reality TV show do you secretly want to be the host of? I really hate reality TV but maybe Nitro Circus or something.

Where is your favorite place to ride your LaMar board and why? Jackson. We just have the best pow and steepest mountains in the lower 48.

Which 12/13 LaMar board do you prefer? The Cranium 158. The board rides great and has such a rad graphic.

What is the best thing about growing up and living in Jackson Hole? Having an appreciation for nature, life, the people around you, and incredibly easy access to outdoor activities.
