What's your favorite thing to ride and why?
Street. You have to use your imagination and be creative.
What do you do in your free time?
I enjoy playing guitar, listening to music, looking at the stars, playing hockey. Mostly just hanging out and having a great time with the Fletcherville crew! I also like to run around naked and pull shenanigans.
What kind of music do you listen to?
Punk rock and ska.
What are your favorite bands?
Misfits, Ramones, Catch-22, Green Day, Rancid, Taking BAck Sunday, NOFX, Newfound Glory, Less Than Jake, Coheed and Cambria, My Chemical Romance...
Name some of your favorite movies.
The Shawshank Redemption, A Clockwork Orange, Edward Scissor hands.
What are your future plans?
I don't ever want to stop riding until death is upon me and darkness around me. I plan on going to the air force to get money for college. I want a job that has something to do with space, the universe, stars, and the E.T. I also really want to both play music and ride on the Vans Warped Tour. The Warped Tour is simply heaven on earth. I guess I will take everything else as it comes and take them head on.
Any comments?
You should dream big and think for yourself, for knowledge is everything. You should stand up and fight for what you believe, for what you believe is all you have. You should be creative, for the imagination is grand and glorious. You should live life with no regrets, for we do not know when death is coming or what happens after we die.
