I was born 1974 in Laguna Beach California the last baby born at South Coast Community Hospital in 1974. We moved to Ocean Beach San Diego when I was 4 years old and I started surfing when I was 4. At age six I started competing in the YMCA contests in San Diego County and at the age of 12 start surfing NSSA. Picked up my first sponsor Rip Curl along with Pro-Lite leashes at the age of 13. When I hit 16 I start surfing the men's division in all the local contests as well as the trials for the Bud Tour. I qualified the first year at 16 and was surfing against men being a junior. Rusty picked me up as well as Canyon Surf Shop and I still had Rip Curl and then got on Astro deck.With no dad around and long gone since I was like 7 or 6 I was the breadwinner for the family at 16 it was my dream come true.I also toured with my band Vinyl Radio. We were nominated twice at the San Diego Music Awards 2007 & 2008. I have two beautiful daughters.Surfing has been good to me.Time to repay the favor.
