When did you first start riding, and why?
I won a skateboard contest in 1988, and legendary snowboarder Andy (DOG) Coghlan awarded me with a snowboard. I put the board on my bedroom wall for about six months until finally, in the spring of 1989, I decided to ride it, and the
rest is history.

Put your time riding in figures for the ones that are bad at math:
Well, I've been snowboarding since 1989. That's… carry the one, 36 years. I'm 53 now, so technically, I've been snowboarding for about two-thirds of my life.

What's your home mountain?
I grew up riding Sugarbush in Vermont.

Favorite mountain?
I love the small local mountains like Bolton Valley and the large resorts like St. Anton. All of them!

Favorite people to ride with?
My favorite people to ride with are my wife, Jen, and daughters,
Josephine and Frances. We listen to the Beastie Boys and ride a lot together. I love riding with the OGs. My favorite people to watch are Jeremy Rohrer, Lukas Goller, and Dominik Wagner!

Favorite Snowboarding Hack (advice) you have?
Ride with your friends, ride as much as you can, have fun, push each other, high-five, and apre' everyday!

What board do you ride?
I'm currently riding the 159 Team Pro Wide. I have a size US 13 and this board is perfect for my big foot. It's got a great flex right out of the box. The side cut is super responsive, and the camber has the perfect amount of POP. This is my go-to board!

What bindings do you rock?
I'm riding the Team Pro Binding. Everything is adjustable, and the highback is stiff, with very comfy straps!

What boots do you wear?
I love the Venture Pro Lace. They feel broken in right out of the box, are super comfy, and are easy on and easy off! I'm an OG (Old Guy), and I prefer a softer boot that's easy to get on, has a nice flex while riding, and is easy to get off!

Can you describe yourself in one sentence?
I'll ride, you describe.
