Older brother was a skier and had tried snowboarding so he wanted to try it too. "As a four year younger rookie snowboarder this made me having to step up my game to keep up with my older brother on everything in the slopes, if he did a jump, I had to do it, too. The passion probably came from loving the snow, I was pretty obsessed from the beginning." (bontena.com, 24 Oct 2018)

"Snowboarding is my life, sounds cliche but if it’s one thing I learned from my injuries is how much snowboarding matters to me." (bontena.com, 24 Oct 2018)

RIDING PROGRESSION
"First off it’s fun. For me that drives me most; how fun it is. Then it’s just being creative and living the lifestyle. Progression is what keeps you going, it’s a really important thing, you get really happy when you land a new trick so that’s what I’m always seeking kind of." (onboardmag.com, 13 Jan 2016)
