Tapout 17

I am a skateboarding photographer. I'm going to Canada to have this whole new world of experiences.

I get to meet up with a wee big snowboarder, Mercedes Nicol. I'm uber stoked on that because she's going to help me get back on my board.

Whistler is home to me not only because my family's here, but I grew up in the mountains.

I try to surround myself with other people that have drive. People you actually let influence you. Everyone should always bring you up.

Living in California, I basically grew up in the sunshine. And this is snow land, this is mountain land, this is stuff I've never seen before.
