I use to be totally into street, then in 2005 I picked up freestyle. Because of my past my freestyle skating has a heavy street influence. I enjoy rolling tricks, flipping my board, and linking tricks together, but ultimately, I’m more interested in the way a trick looks or feels, rather than how difficult or technical a trick really is. Since I won the amateur division in the 2007 at the US Freestyle Skateboarding Championships, I won a free entry into the pro division later that day. What a day that was, as I ended up placing 3rd in the pro division as well.

I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in 2014 with a B.F.A. in Filmmaking. I am a full time videographer / video editor that makes advertisements and educational content for a laser alignment company. I’m also in the process of setting up my own production company, Seahaus Films. I hope to one day be working full-time for myself as well as directing my own independent feature films. Mike Osterman and I are heading our own pet project producing a series of fun little skate videos that will showcase freestylers and creative street skaters around the world. We debut the first video online in the spring 2016.

The last freestyle contest I entered was in Cloverdale, BC, Canada at the World Round-Up where I placed 1st in the Pro Division. Hoping to make a video worthy of placing in the top 10 of the Online Showdown.
