All I Need
Massachusetts Board Company
December 2022
What do YOU need?
Skateboarding, family & friends.
What triggered to come up with your own board company?
It’s been a dream of mind since I was little. When I lost my sponsors in the great recession I decided to put my savings into ALL I NEED!
You were still listed as pro for World Industries in 2019. Are you still riding for them?
Right now I’m the brand manager for World Industries. I’m focused on building on their skate team and creating new epic artwork for skateboard designs!
What was your proudest moment as a pro?
There isn’t really just one moment. The things I’m most proud of being a pro are traveling the world, my videos parts, creating rad artwork and products with my friends.
You are an unlockable character in the Tony Hawk series of video games. This must be a pretty surreal experience. How did this come about?
I use to ride for Tony Hawks company Birdhouse. If you beat the game with the birdhouse team it unlocks a video which I’m included in. It was a honor to play a small part of what Tony has created.
‘When I lost my sponsors in the great recession I decided to put my savings into ALL I NEED!’
