I live to skate, it is my life. I love a good Mini Ramp, Vert Ramp or a clean Bowl to rip in. Since moving to Winthrop Maine, I have competed in many events in New England and I am always one of the top skaters in my age group. Below are links to photo's and videos from when I skated in Texas and since I have been in Maine. New material will be added often so check back soon for updates.

I was picked up as a Regional Team Rider for Z-Flex skateboards. The east coast rep was at Rye and likes the way I skate so we talked about it. It's a good fit and I am excited to ride for Z-Flex. I am stoked to ride some of the old Retro Boards and demo their product. While I am sad to leave Alva , I felt it was time to move on. Thanks Tony for all you have done and I look forward to skating with you in the future.


Having a blast on the "Z-Flex" Jay Adams Cruiser in Lewiston

I was picked up as a Regional Team Rider for Bern. It has been great being a flow rider but it's better getting the bump to the next level. I am so stoked to be with them and look forward to many more years with Bern.

Chris and Mike Powers of ECAS - Can you tell this is Chris's ride to the park?

ReGYN Wheels has picked me up. Wow, how cool to have a wheel sponsor. Props to Wil Waldon for droppin my name to them out in SD. I really like the wheel. It's a smooth ride on the street and in the park. They are holding up really well and I would get a set if I were you. You won't be disappointed in them.

Having fun at Bath Skatepark with my new ReGYN Wheels

This has been another great month. I went to Vert week at Woodward West. It was great but no Vert instructors. Another highlight this month is being picked up by Bern Helmets and Spy Optics Flow Teams.

I went to the Eastern Skateboard Supply event in North Carolina and was picked up to ride for Tony Alva. We had a great session on the half pipe on Friday. Then Saturday afternoon he let me know that he was going to sponsor me. I look forward to riding for Alva Skateboards. I also got a flow ride for Indo Boards - they are great for working on your balance.


Tony Alva and I in North Carolina the day before he picked me up as a rider for Team Alva. I got to ride with Tony for an hour on the Half Pipe behind us. It was a great session.	Going big on the Vert Ramp on my new Alva board at Rye "Team Alva Rocks"

Ripping it up at "The Park" in Bath Maine. They have a tight, fun bowl with a spine to 6ft half pipe

I was a Team Member of Ramp Ranch Skatepark in Liberty Hill Texas for two years and was also a flow rider for Avoid Skateboards of Lewisville Texas for 18 months. I competed in numerous competitions through out Texas and consistently placed in the top of my age group. I qualified for Home Town Rising and Burning Across America Finals. I took 2nd in the Mini Ramp contest for 13 and Over in the Burning Across America contest in Clearwater Florida. I also qualified for the 12 and Under Street finals at this event.


A couple of shots of me in Texas - I think I was 10 in the first shot and 11 in the other 2. Leander Middle school had thisgreat ledge. I could always be found on the airing out of the 6ft at Ramp Ranch They had a great hand rail as well. That park is the Bomb - stop in when you visit Austin .

Mike V and I during the Sony Hook Up Tour 2006. Another of the great ones. I got to spend 45 minutes talking about skating with him one on one He came up to the Vert Ramp and He gave me pointers on the vert ramp (see the video clip)
