How did you get into riding? A neighbor and good friend of mine rode when we were growing up so that influenced me to get my first bike.

Who are some of your favorite riders? I would have to say Kevin Porter, Danny Hickerson, Brian Kachinsky, Adam Banton, Greg Flag and Drew Bezanson just to name a few.

Favorite places to ride? Downtown Toronto is a good time. The University of British Columbia in Vancouver was awesome too. Anywhere really, I'm not picky.

What's the scene like where you live? Good! I get to ride with some of my best friends everyday. There's a few from the Maritimes that moved away but we still meet up to ride whenever we get the chance.

Favorite Music? Big haired bands from the 80's

Favorite movies? Beverly Hills Cop...

Favorite sandwich? Montreal smoked meat sandwiches are quite tasty.

What gets you really mad? Slow Wi-Fi and slipping pedals.

What do you think BMX needs more of? Good times in general. Can never have too many of those.

What makes you really happy? Traveling with friends, riding my bike, meeting new people, and just being outside on a nice sunny day.

What else do you like to do other than ride? Hang out with my family and friends, play guitar and paintball from time to time, design things on the computer, shoot some photos... Mostly just try to keep busy.

Anything else? Huge thanks to Leigh and everyone at Eastern for everything, Craig at 64, the Shear team, my family for the support, my friends for putting up with me, Bob and Doug McKenzie, WASP, and everyone else who's helped me out at one point or another. Stay classy San Diego.
