I started wakeskating around six years ago. At first I was just riding in the summer and going to school in the winter. Then in May of 2003 my life was changed forever. I graduated with a degree in multimedia and my options where, get an office job in web-design, my first car, first apartment basically start my adult life. Or move to Florida and pursue my passion wakeskating. Turns out I didn’t have to make the decision, fate would decide by putting me on the cover of the May 2003 issue of wakeboarding magazine. I was in shock not only did I not know I was going to be on the cover I felt undeserving. So I packed up everything and moved to Florida to try and be a pro wakeskater and live up to the honor of being put on a cover. So now I live in Florida at the Projects camp where I train everyday and help kids with there riding. I am very decade to the sport of wakeskating, helping the mags that have done so much for me, filming and editing video parts, and touring pushing the sport and my sponsors. In 2005 I signed with Gator boards and started working on my Pro model board. I drew my graphic and everyone at Gator boards loved it so I flew to Washington and sat down with the cad guy and spent the day designing the shape. Before I knew it not only was I riding this new board I loved, kids where showing up at the camp with my board telling me how much they enjoy riding it. I’m a rider, designer and a teacher, this is my life and I love it.
