3) Regular/Goofy: Regular
4) Skating since: Remember when Ja Rule & Ashanti put that single out together?
5) Favorite Skate spot(s): Nothing beats a good rink session with the boys.
6) Favorite crew to skate with: I’m down to skate with anyone who is having a good time. Y’all know who you are <3
7) Last trick learned: I stopped keeping track awhile ago.
8) Favorite Trick: Bits, Whips, Chips, & Doo Dads
9) Besides skating, I like to: Skateboarding
is one of the most valuable things in my life, But only in combination
with all the other wonderful things out there.
10) Inspirations: …and the list goes on…
11) How
would you describe Damage, or Duluth in general: Crusty spots hold more
weight in my eye. Sunny California footage just can’t compare. As far as
Damage is concerned, It’s been the go-to spot for years. Having a local
shop is a crucial aspect to help bolster our skateboard community.
12) Goals for the summer: I’m just going to keep it loose & see what happens.

Shout-outs, thank-yous, all that crap: My Family, My wife Robin, Taylor
Kline, Paul Hartman, Mike Rapaich, Jake Durham, Cody Paulson, Branovan,
Damage Crew, Cam & Pete, All the good Homies, & All the Duluth
skateboarders pushing our culture in a positive direction. Love Y’all.
-Sketchiest situation skateboarding or life in general:
Getting hit
by a van while bombing Lake St. was very sketchy. 25 stitches in the
forehead and a couple months of recovery, mentally and physically.
Thanks to all that helped me out that night.
- dome or handies?
I’m not picky.
- tell me about graffiti and how it plays a role in your life/skateboarding.
No thanks.
- spliff or true?
I like it straight up, But Petey is always passing the spliff’s around.
