I really got into skateboarding in a big way when I was about ten years old. The moment I knew I wanted to skate and not do any other sports was the first time I went to XGames with my dad and saw guys flying out of vert ramps. It was then that I knew this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

Once I got my first skateboard, I never got off of it.  Skateboarding has giving me a sense of identity and self confidence.  I just recently started competing in AM contest, competing against the top teen vert/bowl skaters around the world!  Yes, many of them are better than me, but that just keeps pushing me to skate harder every single day!
