Where yah from pal?

Abington, PA. It’s 15 minutes from the city, well uptown at least.

What was it like growing up?

I moved around a lot coming up. Went from Abington to South Carolina, to Cheltenham, to uptown, then back to Abington. Most of my family is from Abington so I spent a lot of my time with them.

Have any hobbies outside of skating?

I just kick it with my friends for the most part, play hella fortnite, and watch mad anime.

Being newer in Philadelphia, what spots interest you the most?

I hate skating blown out spots because it’s dumb hard to think of tricks, it’s too stressful. I like all of the cutty spots the most, shit that looks fire. You have to drive to most of them though, and I don’t have a wheel so I usually just tag along with homies who do and skate their spots. I have to keep them lowkey so they don’t get tight with me.

It’s now 2019, who’s hooking it up for you?

Fucking Awesome, Adidas, Damage Itd, Bones bearings, and Dialtone wheels.

You just had footage drop, tell the people where to find your moves.

My regular ass video part is on Tracey’s YouTube.

Who are your favorite people to watch skateboard?

Joey O’Brien, Tyler Diettrich, Kevin Liedtke, a lot of others but, they’re my top three.

Got any words about the Philadelphia skate scene?

I like how everyone knows each other, I think it’s fire. Nobody’s fucking with Philly’s skate scene.

Skating the same city all the time, you’re obviously itching to step out and travel…what’s the destination once it’s time to make that decision?

I have been trying to get to Spain. Madrid looks sick. Plus I want to Jura and see Jaun Viru’s hometown. I heard that it’s beautiful. I also want to visit Paris.

Eventually moving out of Philadelphia, where is your ideal place to lay your head at?

NYC! It’s type lit out there, I love the energy. Plus there’s just so much opportunity.
