How did you become a Sound Agent?

I was hanging out and skating a lot with Dave Hoang, Dyson and Benny. I went to the Berrics, to skate Chris’ house and on some other sessions and met most of the Sound Agents. I then tagged along on a trip to Phoenix with the Sound Agency and skated with pretty much the rest of the team. Everyone was cool and I was also stoked on the vibe of Stereo. After that I asked you guys to flow me some boards. You guys did. Sweet!

What do you like most about being a Sound Agent?

I am feeling how Stereo has an awesome history in skateboarding attached to it. Just look at a list of riders who used to ride for them and the current list. I also like how original and creative everyone is.

What is the first paid job you ever had?

Walking dogs. After I had mastered the art of the dog walk and the poop and scoop by foot I thought about how easy it would be on wheels. I put on some rollerblades (I was probably 8, don’t hate) and took the dog for a walk. Two hours later, I arrived home with a lot less skin on my legs, no rollerblades and I was out of the dog walking game.

What are your pet peeves?

Jocks, fake tans, haters and stupid girls.

Favorite vacation Spot?

Anywhere with sun, concrete, good friends and pho.

Who are your top three all-time favorite skateboarders?

Appleyard, Shimizu, Heath.

Favorite quote?

“Procrastination is like masturbation, they both feel good at the time but in the end you are only screwing yourself.”

What goal(s) have you yet to achieve?

I am waiting to graduate from the dirty teenage school of mustaches to the full manstache academy.

Who is your mentor or the person you most admire?

Barbeques and steaks.

What one word best describes you?

Goose eating rooster wolf.
