What are your goals for this season: My top summer goals are to better organize my wakeboard school to allow for a lot more growth and interaction between our mentors and the people of the world, to coach with enthused interest, incorporating new techniques and innovation into our instruction for others, to learn lots of new tricks on my wakeboard, like Blind 313s, 1080s hs and ts, Blind 9, grabbing everything I'm not already grabbing, and taking more tricks into the flats, to build and learn lots of new tricks on rails, jump over land and dock with skill and precision, win every contest I compete in, have a great time and show others a great time in all the different places we will be, and prepare myself for a winter of progression and growth within the wakeboard industry down in Orlando. A personal goal is to better document everything and communicate with my sponsors, clients, and friends to further grow the sport. Years Pro or on Team Wake N Skate: Paying all my bills from being involved with wakeboarding since 2003. This is my first season with Wake N Skate. I'm super stoked! Vehicle: 1999 GMC Suburban What do you like best about Wake N Skate: I like the alliance of cool riders brought together through Wake N Skate and that support group's passion to growing the store into something awesome for the people of SML and beyond. Wake N Skate seems to want to incorporate the riders' preferences into the heart of the business too. The riders at SML have a great, humble attitude about the sport yet are intense about becoming a noticeable figure within the sport. Everybody is pushing it on the water and supporting their bros by encouraging them to enjoy water sports. Having fun on the water is what it’s all about, so I've felt right at home here.

Any stupid human tricks we should know about: none
