Bio - I have been skating since I was ten years old. I used to ride the old plastic skateboards for nearly four years. I then got new stick and started shortboarding. I rode ramp and street and competed in street comps till I was 18 years old.

I started surfing when I was 17 years old and have been to Bali and Fiji. I love surfing in boardshorts in the summer.

I took up Snowboarding in Australia when I was 23 years old. At 25 I went to Canada and did two seasons at 'Big White Ski Resort'. I love to freeride and Jib around. I used to also compete in Bordercross. Snowboarding is one of the easiset board sports to get into.

I was 29 when I got into Longboarding/Speedboarding after I saw it on tv. I went out and bought a board and have never looked back. I longboarded by myself for nearly a year before I hooked up with the Early riders on the Gold Coast.

I looked for races here in Australia at the X Games, but they had just canned Speedboarding. I decided to go overseas and race with the best.

In 2003 I took off around the World to skate and race. I raced in Speedboarding and Slalom as well as freeriding some of the most amazing roads in the World. I ended the 2003 season at #3 in the World Rankings.

Skate hard and safe.... Peace................
