Thats super rad! When did you first get into skateboarding and what got you pumped on it?

I got into skating because my brother skated and I wanted to be just like him.  My parents did not want me skating until I was seven.  So when I turned seven, my parents bought me my first board at Walmart.  Since then, I competed with my brother to see who can be better.

Who was your favorite skater growing up?

My favorite skateboarder growing up was Johnny Layton.  I had his pro model deck for the longest time and I met him at Element camp, Where he singed my board.

What was your first board and the first trick you landed?

The first trick I ever landed was a drop in. my dad used to focus more on my brother skating so I would always listen. I was at the park and I tried doing one of the tricks my brother did and I did it first try that's when I new I wanted to skate my whole life.
