Q&A
When did you start snowboarding?  
I started snowboarding when I was 5 years old.

What got you hooked on the shred? Well the first time I went I hated it so much. Then one day I saw my neighbor shredding down this snow bank, so I got my board and road down it. Ever since then I’ve had a dream to be a professional in the sport.

Favorite snowboard discipline 
(i.e. pipe, park, woods, freeriding, all) I like to ride everything besides gates.

Your gnarliest or favorite snowboard trick?  
My favorite snowboard trick is an Alley oop hand plant in the pipe.

Are there any snowboarders out there that stoke you out?  Who and why?  
Backside 5 mute. 2011
I have three, Niko Cioffi (Former OMSer) because he kills it on rails, Luke Mitrani because he sheds the pipe, and last but certainly not least, Travis Rice because he can ride everything and shreds amazingly.

What’s on your ipod? (list a few artists that pump you up) 
Some good pump up songs on my iPod are Feel Good by Chip the Ripper, Keep it Gangsta by Ya boy, Seventeen years by ratatat, and Amazin by Wiz Kahlifa and Rick Ross.

What’s so rad about OMS?  
The raddest part is that we have such rad coaches, every single one of the couches here can shred amazingly with awesome style and can coach you to perfection.

Any last words?  
I feel that snowboarding sometimes gets a little too serious and people need to stop were they are and have some real fun by either shredding some woods or throwing some methods here and there. Have fun. And SHRED ON!
