In the Van Since: a long long time ago

How did you get on the 5? Chris Cottle(DVS rep at the time) sent my tape to SteveR. Went on a trip, got fucked with for a few years as flow trash and here I am today.

First Board: a yellow plastic board with a frog on it that I used to ride down my grandparents’ drive way.

Food:Chicken Supreme in P-Town

Music: The Boss, Bruce Springsteen is the real governor of New Jersey.

Inspiration: my family, friends, my girlfriend, and most of all, my mom and dad.

When you’re not skating: hangin' with my girl and boxing 

Favorite dude to sit next to in the Van? Tombo of course in the front seat. We have driven around the world together.

Worst dude to sit next to in the Van? Nobody. I love them all.

Favorite 5boro Trip: My second trip to Peru or any trip that the whole crew was there

10 years from now: lounging back counting double digit thousand stacks
