Year You Started Snowboarding: 2017
What or Who Got You Into Snowboarding? I begged my dad to go snowboarding when I was 9 and the next year he got me a season pass, the rest is history.
How you got your first Snowboard? My dad bought this snowboard from a neighbor that was as tall as me, gave that back and then bought one off Amazon. It was a brand called “Symbolic”.
Best Contest Result: Won some USASAs when I was younger haha, waiting to go to some bigger rail jams.

A monumental Snowboarding moment that you’ll never forget? I’m not sure if it’s monumental as much as it is funny but me and my buddy’s were hitting this down bar in summit county when I was 14. Probably had the biggest lip you could build onto it. Out of nowhere Torstein Horgmo pulls up and makes me and buddy play rock paper scissors for a pair of goggles, I lost. Still got a Shredbots t shirt though
Favorite Video Part of All Time: Spencer Schubert’s part in Good Sport is always one I look back on
Biggest Inspiration: My biggest inspirations on riding growing up were definitely Lucas Magoon, Blake lamb, and Tommy Gesme.
Steel or Powder? Steel all day
Go To Trick? Switch lip same way is always the go to. I think the snap on the 270 out is what makes it so fun.
Least favorite trick? Front board pretz, it just hurts to do and i never actually enjoy doing that trick
Most Underrated Rider: probably Mike Liddle
Dream Sponsor (Doesn’t Have to Be Snowboarding-Related): Monster Energy would be sick
A time where you should have died but made it out unscathed? I was winching into this gap to rail and when I threw the winch handle it ricocheted off the Ground and wrapped around my neck mid air, somehow got untangled before I landed and was fine.
Biggest Fear? Skate stoppers
Interests Outside of Snowboarding: Dirt biking, skateboarding, anything dangerous or fast
Words to Live By: Rest when your dead
Shout Outs: My dad for always being my biggest supporter and creating me into the person I am today. Also shout out the Sinister boys for taking me under they’re wing, I can’t thank Havey and Sam enough for everything they have done for me.
