Occupation:

Languages spoken:

Turned professional in 2016

"Growing up I was pretty athletic so I picked things up easily but also got bored easily. Skateboarding is the perfect balance of athleticism, art, and problem-solving. It's so engaging on every level, so it's impossible to become bored with it. There's an infinite amount of combinations, and even once you learn a skill, you're never done with it. There's always a way to do it better, faster, higher, and with more style." (vegoutmag.com, 12 Apr 2020)

Philosophy:

"I skate because it is my passion. I skate because I can't not skate. It is my creative outlet, my community, and just a flat-out addiction." (vegoutmag.com, 12 Apr 2020)

General
OLYMPIC INCLUSION
He believes the inclusion of skateboarding at the Olympic Games is necessary for the sport. "I've always wanted to see skateboarding grow out of its adolescence. It's one of the toughest sports, and I feel it's gotten to a point where it has evolved past its 'rebel' or 'outcast' stigma. As its acceptance increases and the skate communities grow around the world, it only makes sense that skateboarding deserves to have its place amongst soccer, basketball, hockey, etc." (vegoutmag.com, 12 Apr 2020)

COMPANY
He owns Switchmade, a skateboarding accessories brand. "Switchmade is my crew, my brand, my homeys, and a lifestyle all at once. It's something I recognise in certain individuals, an aspiration to do better. Something like the Japanese philosophy of kaizen - never stagnant, always moving forward. Making progress or making switches that positively affect your circumstances. If you're not satisfied with where you're at today, what can you do now to be in a place that does satisfy you tomorrow? Switchmade is obviously a play on words, with skating switch, but also making a switch if it benefits your development in whatever it is you're working on."
