How did you become a Sound Agent?

I couldn't tell ya how exactly, because it's a bit of a mystery to me. They must have spies operating in the middle east. But regardless of how, I'm both grateful and hyped! Big thanks to DDE distribution.

What do you like most about being a Sound Agent?

The whole sh'bang! Quality skateboarding, on vinyl.

What is the first paid job you ever had?

Washing dishes and scrubbing potatoes when i was 14 at a bar/restaraunt in wisconsin. That wasn't the funnest job, but it was worth it. Eventually saved up enough and bought a camera.

What are your pet peeves?

Summertime in the Middle East. Not having a drivers license. Forgetting things. Computers running our lives...

Favorite vacation Spot?

Anywhere with the right people.

Those that don't get stressed and know how to have a good time on and off the board.
