Where do you ride, and what do you like about riding there: Rhode Island is small enough that any lake in the state can be your lake. Always roll with the Island Ghetto crew, found on Watuppa pond in Fall River, or holdin' down the Eastbay or the Sakonnet river. Can never get enough, will go anytime or anywhere. Spots are close and can always find clean water somewhere.

How long have you been riding, how did you get started, what are your favorite tricks to do, and who do you ride with: Have been riding 3 years, started with a friend at work got a tower for his boat for his kid....I got more use from it, thanks Matt...lol. Really like BIG stalefish grabs poked way the hell out and grabbed all the way down.....yeah, all the way down! Always find me with the Island Ghetto crew outta portsmouth, RI. Those guys are crazy... Erin, Burns, Milla, Robb behind the wheel, and only Rob behind the wheel...hahahaha sorry guys but he got skills! Devanney when he's not on the kite. Corporate Tom shows up every now and agin. We got a real eclectic crew of riders at all levels. Good vibes always and progression is our goal everytime...no matter who makes it out. Thanks Guys

What do you enjoy most about boarding. Any other information you would like to add. What do you ride, your favorite riders, any sponsors, what you do in your free time:

I have been a part of the boarding life since i was 8 when i got my first skateboard, then my dad got me a surfboard....then a snowboard. Now with age and income comes a boat and a wakeboard, and I like it better than all the rest. The boat, friends, sunshine or freezing, The whole thing has got me hooked. It is an individual sport that requires a team at the same time...best of both worlds....besides New England surfers have become grumpy and lame in the line up...so I decided make my own beach break....Can I make anyone up a Right? or a Left?....hahahahah. Representin' the Island Ghetto, Six Feet Deep clothing, Fuel, Extremly Board wake/surf shop, Northwind sports, Aftermath Board company and Cox Communications. Thanks everyone for the support and motivation along the way, You all Rock! Free time is loaded up with workin' with Island Ghetto trying to get our New England Scene bigger and stronger. Look forward to big things to come...
