Favorite Part of wakeboarding? Sometimes the little things are the most fun like a little butter slide or a well poked grab. Teaching people, especially kids how to ride, the smiles when they get back in the are priceless. Also the fact that when I wakeboard all life's little worries and drama disappear.

What are your goals for 2010? To keep progressing and to hopefully spend some more time on rails.

What are you up to when your not riding? Hanging with my awesome wife Lori, beautiful daughter Reese, the rest of my family and all the homies. Giving Wakeboard lesson with my Uncle Fred and Snowboarding when I get the chance which is hardly ever...Haha!
