Basic info, where were you born, where you living, age, and sponsors?
I was born in Leduc Alberta February 5th 1984.... that would make me 23. I ride for Billabong, Sapient, Smith and Level Gloves.
How has your season treated you this year?
My season was awesome. I rode a lot of pow. A couple minor injuries but that's ok. It’s a part of the game.
You have a sled yet?
Ya, I got a 99 Summit 670. I LOVE SLEDDING.
Do you plan on getting more into the backcountry next year?
Ya ... All I want to do is sled. Its so much better then snowboarding anywhere I've been.
Give me a percentage breakdown on your snowboarding: contest, traveling, urban missions, filming, backcountry, mellow shredding (park), whatever floats your boat, etc.....
35% Backcountry
25% Whatever Floats
15% Urban Missions
10% Contests
10% Park
5% Traveling
Plans for the summer?
Work, try to make money to buy a truck. Of course hit up camp a bit, hit a few street rails in Van, and skate and wakeskate whenever possible.
Rail missions in winter or summer? Why?
I like rail missions in the summer mostly because Vancouver never gets snow and if they have snow that usually means that the mountain is going to be so much sicker than some street rail.
What do you do to get the bills paid?
I drive taxi for Resort Cabs here in Whistler... if you ever need a cab Request Warren.
Who do you ride with?
Anyone that calls me in the morning.
What pisses you off?
Waiting for people, sleds that don't work, negative people, people that back out of missions, cops and Rent-a-cop’s.
What gets you pumped?
Good Friends, Good attitude, Good Conditions, Good music. Anything good.
Shout outs?
Shout out to Risto at Billabong, Chris at Smith and Level, Spencer at Sapeint, Todd and Brad at the Summit, Slizzy at Gnarcore, Tyler, Ryan Conway, Chase Conway, Mr Jack Crompton, all my friends, my Mom and Dad, Jess and Court and anyone else that has helped me out over the years. Thanks!
