Favorite place to surf? Cape Hatteras, Outer Banks, NC

Favorite Trick? I love to fly

What trick are you currently perfecting? Landing airs

How did you get started surfing? I just thought it looked fun so I saved up babysitting money and bought an old board.

What are some of your other (non-surfing) hobbies? Spearfishing, fishing, hunting, motorcross or ATVs, motorcycles, pretty much anything that gets my adrenaline goin

What was your first board? A 6’0” Quiet Flight

Who is your favorite pro? (why?) Jamie O’Brien, he just goes for it

If you could go surfing with one person it would be…Jimmy Moren. I could learn so much! He’s super fast and powerful even on little waves. Always in the right spot and just kills it!

If you could go surfing anywhere it would be… The Mentawais, perfect waves and perfect reef?! That’s paradise!

What was your first surf trip? Costa Rica with Jim Tolliver and Erica Elliott, it was a blast. I surfed literally ALL day.

What was your biggest win? A few people decided to make wagers on a certain heat I was in about a year ago. I won the heat & my friends won the bet. It feels really good when your friends believe in you.

What was your scariest moment in the water? Either the huge bull shark that chased me at Juno Pier or accidently flippin the board and landin on my fins when it sucked up right on shore. Ouch!

What was your most embarrassing moment? Loosin my bottoms duck divin, luckily my leash caught em.

If you and your surfboard were stuck on a desert island and you could only have one other thing...what would it be? My pup, Lily, she’s my best friend
