Let's start off by letting everyone know where your from, and currently living?
Well, I grew up in Irish town NB which is about 15 minutes from Moncton NB, and I now reside in North Vancouver.

Does the IP(Irish town posse) still exist? I remember seeing that on t-shirts at contests at Moncton skatepark.
Haha! Unfortunately the IP is no more due to the majority of the original dudes quitting skating. As of today I think Corey (Lekas) and I are the last ones standing.

Who else was in IP? Wasn't there a dude name Eric? he was sick! to bad he quit skating eh.
Yeah, we were a pretty tight crew man. The guy you're thinking of was Eric Laughlin and he really was sick. Probably the best skater out of the whole crew. Other than that, the rest of the crew consisted of Jimmy Babineau, James Kelly, Brad Michell, Joey and Chris Gallant and Josh Johnson. Good times! haha

Now that you live in North Van, Is there anything you miss about skating in Moncton?
Yeah some things I miss like having my own car and knowing where all the spots are. Definitely miss skating with all the OG homies like James, Nathan, Dan and Brooks. Definitely major advantages skating in Van though.

Yeah. Your working at Center Distribution now, does having a job like that take up a lot of time from skateboarding?
Well Centre's rad because yes, I do work 8:30 to 4:30 Monday to Friday but I have no problem taking time off to go on trips or to contests. They also give me a travel budget on top of hooking me up with Fallen shoes.

That's sick, do you ever skate with the OG RDS guys that work there like Moses or Sluggo?
I've skated with Sluggo a bunch...he's the sickest dude! Moses hasn't stepped foot on a board (except for doing a nollie flip on carpet in the office with my board) in 3 years. Other than that I've skated with pretty much all of them at some point.

Who gets you stoked to skate these days?
Greg Muthafuckin' Brewer man! He either gets me so hyped or kinda bummed cause he's so damn good. haha! Basically the whole North Van crew gets me hyped...AJ (Aaron Johnson), Sacha (Daily), Carley Brew, Justin Chorney, Corey (Lekas), Zane Cushing and the army of little groms.

Do you plan on taking any trips this winter to escape from the weather?
I'm hoping to but as of yet there's nothing concrete. I might just save my money and travel budget and go to Oz and shoot with Alex Connor.

That would be fun to skate Australia, So who are all of your sponsors right now?
I've got the Josh Harmony package right now haha! Toy Machine, Fallen through Centre and RVCA through Timebomb.

So whatever happened to Skate to Snow did Jay ever tell you?
Well, I never actually heard anything about the shop closing from Jay directly because he decided to end an 8 year friendship over some bullshit. Corey told me that Jay was just over it, that he didn't want to run the store anymore but I think it's because of the fact that he burnt all his bridges with industry people as well as customers by being a straight up asshole all the time. I could go on.

Haha yeah I really didn't like him. Well let's finish this up do you have any people/sponsors you want to thank?
Yay! I've always wanted to do this! haha! I want to thank Danny Marshall Sluggo and Moses for offering me my sweet job as well as hooking me up with Fallen. Pooch at Tum Yeto for sending sweet Toy packages. Judah Oakes at Timebomb for giving me sweet RVCA threads as well as being patient while shooting photos. Oh, and NO THANKS to Jason Murray for being a complete piece of shit!
