Where were you born?
In the Florida Everglades....50 miles from any doctor.... but for the lamest, The Orlando Hospital.

When’s your birthday?
April 20th 1990.

How long have you been wakeskating?
I mean, the first time that i wakeskated was like ten years ago, but i didnt start doing it a lot until 2004.

How did you get into wakeskating?
Well, i have been a wakeboarder all of my life. Basically, the day that i tried wakeskating...was the day i knew that it was for me.

What do you like most about your “job”?
That i can actually make enough money to support myself, doing what i love.

What is your favorite thing to do that has nothing to do with wakeskating?
Anything with an engine...Mud racing, Nascar, 1/4 mile racing, etc. Not only to watch...but to do.

What is your favorite food?
I love Sushi, but i dont know if i could put a finger on my favorite. I guess it all depends on who is cooking.

Favorite movie?
Almost Heroes, it was the last movie that Chris Farley was in before he died. It is a timeless classic.

If you could be an animal what would you be? And why?
Bald eagle, or the Florida Panther. The eagle for its precision and its sight, the panther for its stealth and perseverance.

Have you ever fell asleep in church?
Yes, but dont tell my Dad.

Favorite ice cream?
Chocolate Chip Cookie dough.

Okay let’s get a little more serious… How has being a Christian changed your life?
Cookie Dough, straigh into this...ok changing gears. It gives my life a greater purpose, and more drive to do everything better. Because it is not only for me anymore, it is to glorify God.

Do you ever get ridiculed for making a stand for Christ?
Yes, constantly. Living in the world and the industry that am involved in, a lot of people just dont see eye to eye with me. It says in the Bible that we will always be ridiculed and put down for being Christ followers...so yeah.

What is one your favorite verses in the Bible?
Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

Who has made the biggest impact on your spiritual life?
My best friend Matt Manzari. You are who your friends are.

What do you think is the biggest turn off about Christians to non-believers? How can you change this?
Christians themselves. Everybody has been a hypocrite once or twice. It is impossible to not be one, but thats why we are supposed to have faith in God, not in humans.

If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would you do different and why?
I would change my hair color to like more like an indian, but other than that...i would change nothing. Everything stupid that i have done that i regret, has hurt, but more impostantly has shaped me into what i am today.

What advice do you have for us for sharing your faith with a stranger?
Never be pushy or boastful. You shouldnt have to tell someone that you are a christian, they should be able to tell.

If you died today would you leave this world with a any regrets?
Nope, i aint bringing anything with me.

How do you think we can “live in the world, but not be of the world”, especially with what you do?
Trust in God, you will be surprised at what you find...
