What Bern gear are you rocking this winter
I like my Macon and Baker Hard Hat with the Brock Foam. The Nino is cool too. I’ll wear anything that is bern- cause you guys rock!

What are your plans for this winter?
I’m starting the 3rd grade at a new school that has a GATE Program (Gifted & Talented Education) My dad is gonna teach me to snowboard and I’m going back to the skate parks that were too hot to skate this summer. It sucks skating in 100 degree weather.

Best trip you have taken in your career?
California State Games Championships in San Diego in July 07. I got 5th place in the Bowl Comp 10 & under. After the competition my dad drove me to Clairemont to skate the X-Games half pipe and the pool.

What would you do if you were not a pro shred?
I used to take karate, but it’s hard to imagine my life without skateboarding.

Influences?
Mom, Dad and my big sister Danielle, my grand parents and all of my family and friends, Wes Humpston from Bulldog Skates, Lonnie Hiramoto, Bennett Hirada, Hassan, Hosoi, Kris Reeves and Sandro Diaz.

What are your bad habits?
Not sure if I have any. LOL

What makes you happy?
Skating, skating, skating, playing my Nintendo DS Lite, Gameboy Advance SP, Tech Decks, watching FUEL TV, Captain & Casey Show, Sponge Bob Square Pants, drawing, camping with my family. You know, kids stuff.

What is your biggest fear?
Not being able to skate.

What is in your Ipod?
I like classic Rock n Roll - Zep, Aerosmith, WAR, Steely Dan, The Police, Talking Heads, pretty much all the music my dads band plays. LOL- I don’t skate with it, I’m afraid it might break when I slam.

Favorite food?
Anything Italian, Strawberries with whipped cream

Favorite Movie of all time?
The Simpson’s Movie and Evan All Mighty

Other Sponsors?
I proudly wear all of my sponsors gear- Bulldog Skates and Riot Boardshop.

Goals in life?
Skate forever, go to college, compete in the X-Games (Mega-Ramp & Half Pipe) and go to the Olympics. Build a pool in my backyard.

Last Words?
“Skateboarding grows from the heart and not your brain.” Thanks to bern and to all that support me.
