Explain the feeling you had the first time you put on skates:
Freedom, I was instantly hooked. I knew this would be something I would focus my time on and that it would open up opportunities for me.

What is your inspiration to keep skating?
Progression. I love challenging myself as well as sharing the sport with others and seeing them learn and progress.

We truly believe skating makes a better world. How do you think skating makes the world a better place?
The world is better with skates on. They allow you to move freely and see the world in a different way. Tired of your city or town? Put on skates and it’ll be a whole new place. The obstacles and the people around you become even more interesting while skating.  

How do you keep progressing and reinventing yourself?
I love all styles of skating. Different types of skating inspires me to continue to pushing myself and the sport.

What’s the most helpful tip you want to share with any skater?
Inspect and get to know your gear.  You can learn a lot about technique by paying attention to the wear on your skates, wheels and brake. Most importantly have fun and bend your knees!

Imagine a world filled with animals who can skate. If you could be any of those animals what would you be and why?
The Peregrine Falcon, because of its speed. How fun would it be to go over 200mph with skates on?
