If I had to choose just one, I would say when I landed a BS 9 for the first time. But the best moments are just going out for a late afternoon set with all the boys, absolutely blaring the music, and having the best time. I appreciate that so much.
What lessons has wakeboarding taught you?If you ride with confidence and courage I feel like anything can be possible.
What does it mean to ride for LF?It means a lot to be on Liquid Force! Ever since I was young I always thought LF had the snazziest boards and the coolest team.
Who or what inspires you?What inspires me is just to be different than the normal. If I can make something look unique then I’m happy.
What do you think you are doing too much of or too little of because of wakeboarding?Been spending too much time at the gas station and not practicing my solid golf swings.

Maybe the 2021 team challenge event, drinking beer out of the trophy cup on the podium, I was thinking, what a great team to be apart of! Me and luca have some great fun on the shoots too.
I'd have to go with a Lima or a spider monkey, I'm pretty skinny and agile, I think one of those two fit the description pretty well. They're always doing some weird things too.
I think I may of just described myself.
In regards to wakeboarding I would say Massi Piffaretti and Raph Derome were my biggest inspiration to change the way I Wakeboarded and to be different in the way I rode.
Gunner Daft's BS 9, or maybe a Indy Blind Pete.

Haven't spent much time behind a winch to be honest so I'd have to go with cable, but from the viewing perspective I'd say winching.

Well LF have the best boards in the business so I’d say that’s a pretty good reason and the fact that it’s all made by the sun.
My parents used to waterski so I had always spent a bit of time behind a boat but I guess wakeboarding was in my path and decided to pursue it and loved it, still do!
Lunar Cable Park, Pampa Wakepark, Valdosta.
Unlimited budget, this trip going to last about 4 months, la familia gonna be going to Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Nicaragua, Mexico, then to Hawaii. Might be doing more surfing than wakeboarding on that trip. Next one is Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Morocco.
The double or nothing event where Luca, Tyler, Massi and myself rode the finals together, feels good riding the finals with your best friends!
La Familia video in Argentina, excited is an understatement for that, it’s gonna be awesome.
Basketball, soccer, tennis and working on the farm and cutting firewood with pop when I’m back home.
Deli meat section or the sauce isle.
Get paid to travel and surf would be the dream.
No unfortunately I don’t, wish I could.
Pro surfer for sure.
Either go back to sleep, shower, or cook a gourmet breakfast.
Being myself, being different, getting paid to do something I love and enjoy doing.
Hopefully I can make a positive impact wherever the journey takes me. would so love to end up in a house on a beach with absolutely nobody around.
