What’s up?

Just chilling man. Trying to see if this snow ever gets here. It’s an 80% chance here for later tonight. Not ready for winter yet.

So you recently moved to Pittsburgh?

Right now I’m back home for a few days getting my shit together. Actually moving the rest of my stuff in next week.

Sick, why you moving out there?

I’ve been going up and staying with Alex (Papke) a few times every couple of months to just skate and shoot photos and I just kind of fell in love with it. Super crusty, rad spots, rough streets, amazing architecture, and landscape, and just a good vibe all around. I just felt like this opportunity to move in with a good homie that’s an incredible photographer, wasn’t going to come around again.

Best city to skate you’ve been to?

Chicago.

When were you out there?

Probably like 7 or 8 months ago filming for Cooper Winterson’s video,\m/.

Best Woodward experience?

Probably just cruising around every night by myself after everyone either went to sleep or went to the bar.

Anything good about winter?

Not a fucking thing.

Last place you were kicked out of?

Got the boot from Starbucks the other day for smoking cigs out front ha.

Last spot you got kicked out of?

The Oxford building in downtown Pittsburgh.

What happened?

It’s always a waiting game for that spot. You could have 15 minutes or the whole night. It’s super random. We actually got a super fun session in for probably an hour, before security came and kicked us out.

Most amount of money you’ve ever won?

The most amount I ever won was $400. It was some skate contest at this park I used to go to all the time in Baltimore. Ended up getting lucky.

What d you think about keeping spots secret/not sharing?

That’s a touchy subject. I feel like if someone is willing to go out and take the time and find something rad then they have every right to keep it a secret. But some people take things way too seriously.

If you could be pro for something besides skating what’d it be?

Shit man, I don’t even know. I’d like to be a writer someday though.

Favorite writer?

Charles Bukowski.

Thanks?

Mom and dad, wouldn’t be anywhere without them. Alex Papke, Thomas Pittenger, all the other homies, my beautiful girlfriend Desirae, East Coast, rough ground, anyone who has let me sleep on their floor or couch, anyone who skates fast, and coffee.
