What person do you respect the most? My parents - really respect their work ethic. We’re dairy farmers and I honestly can’t remember when/if they’ve ever taken an entire day off together.

What movies/books/comics/TV shows, etc are you into right now? Into “Psycology” books when I pick them up, love a good thinker.

What are you listening to these days? A lot of hip-hop on the ipod, and non-stop country in the barn.

What was the best concert you attended? Honestly never been to a concert. Momma says “concerts are for the devil”.

What are some things that motivate you? Fresh air and sunshine. Nothing like being out there on a good day with some great buds.

What sports do you enjoy watching or participating in besides your main sport? I Love the ice hockey eh.

What's the most fun you've ever had while participating in your sport? The first summer I started for sure. It was my cousin Curtis and buddy Jer,.. we ripped the small rapid at the top of McCoys apart all year long (most people don’t even know it’s there).

When people look at your life, how would you like to be remembered? Great teeth, great hair.

What do you view as your biggest accomplishment? Making quality, creamy, cold and delicious milk.

What advice do you have for other people coming up in your sport? There’s starting to be a lot of young local paddlers in Beachburg, so awesome to see them rip. So to those guys, I say… slow-down on Main Street.

One sentence that describes your life: YYEEWWWWW!

Duran Duran, Tear for Fears, Hall and Oates, or Cindy Lauper? Why? UmmmHhhmmm…I like them all equally as bad.
