When I was about 11 we lived near a school where there were lots of skateboarders to watch and learn from. I started out doing just the basic flat ground tricks then started doing some combinations and found it to be super fun. Rodney Mullen a pro skater and Chris Chan really caught my attention and gave me the desire to get more into freestyle. As I progressed I knew that skateboarding would top any sport that I was pursuing.

My other Hobbies include tennis, hiking, playing drums and taking road trips. A buddy and I jumped in the car a few years ago and drove to LA, California to check out the skateparks. We are already planning another road trip this summer to skate some parks in the interior of British Columbia and on Vancouver Island.

I had a bad accident two years ago and was unable to compete at the Round-Up. When I was fully recovered I so tried to practice between 1 to 2 hours a day to get back in shape for this year’s contest. I currently work in the restaurant field but plan to go back to school in the summer and take classes in Health Care. Looking forward to the Round-Up again and being able to see the variety of interesting tricks skaters can do. I had a great time last year skating to the music with the rest of the gang.
