How has wakeboarding changed your life?
Wakeboarding has been my life for as long as I can remember. I have met some awesome friends through wakeboarding and I have gone so many cool places! Most of all, I get to do what I love all the time.  I also teach lessons during the summers and it is awesome to see people progress and just have fun and I’m glad I could be apart of that.

Who influences you the most?
I would have to say that my friend Adam Fields’ influences me the most. I have grown up wakeboarding with him and now I coach at his wakeboard school. It’s so awesome to see him doing what he absolutely loves and is really talented at! Also the Conway Punks!! 

What is your favorite part of being a professional wakeboarder?
Being outside in the boat all the time with my friends! Being able to teach other people as well!

What does the “job” part of being a professional wakeboarder consist of?
It consist of constant fun, traveling around, and trying to expose the sport to more people. I coach everyday all day from 7a.m to 9p.m in the summers.

If you weren’t wakeboarding for a job, what do you think you would be doing?
I have no idea what I would be doing.  I’d probably be a professional student!

Where do you think wakeboarding is going to go from where it is now?
I think cable wakeboarding is going to grow huge. Cables are so big in other country’s and with boat/gas prices it makes more sense. I’m not a big fan of cable riding but I think it would allow more people to get involved in the sport!
