How do you balance the responsibilities of a family on the East coast and a career that keeps you out west and traveling the world?
Weekend trips, I go away on Thursday come home early Monday.

Is there Any chance of packing up the family and moving west?
Hopefully, In about two years.

What’s the best career advice you’ve gotten from Jamie Thomas?
To shut up.

What can you tell me about the video game “Skate”?
I am a character in the video game. It is made by EA. it is the best skateboarding video game ever.

What inspired you to get on a skateboard in the first place?
These dudes skated down my street in 89’. They were so damn cool looking to a kid of my age. They had dweeb (squeeb?) cuts and stuff. I wanted to be just the same.
