Primary riding discipline: Everything
Hometown: Oak Ridges, ON
1) What is your favorite thing about Title?
What I love about Title is the quality and strength of the products. I never have to worry about anything breaking, and at the same time I know I’m riding the best components. On top of that, the parts look amazing. They’re clean and built to be pushed hard.
2) What was your first mountain bike?
My first mountain bike was a Kona Stuff. I was hugely inspired by the Kona Clump team growing up. I cut grass for two years straight to save up, and on my 14th birthday I finally got that bike. I’ll never forget it.
3) If you could ride anywhere in the world with anyone, where would you go and who would you ride with?
I love going to South Africa for Darkfest and riding with people like Sam Reynolds, Clemens, Bienve, Chance Moore, and honestly anyone who’s truly excited about riding. But if I had to choose one place to ride forever, it would be my Compound. The jumps, the airbag zone, the gym, the bike shop, and the overall vibe make it hard to beat. If I never had to leave, I’d be pretty happy.
4) What is your go-to pre-ride meal or snack?
I usually don’t eat before riding. If I have anything, it’s a mushroom coffee. It’s cacao mixed with espresso, honey, oat milk, and mushroom powder. I love riding in the mornings it heightens your senses, and usually don’t eat until around noon or early afternoon.
5) What is your most memorable riding moment?
I’ve been lucky to have a lot of memorable moments, and I don’t think there’s one single standout. Every year brings something new. That said, having everyone over at the Compound riding together is always special. X Games was huge moment, getting to compete and land some big tricks. I also really cherish the rock tours I did with The Rise back in my street riding days. Those memories will always stay with me, and I know there are still many more to come.
6) What are your hobbies and interests outside of riding?
Honestly, my life revolves around riding. Outside of that, I love skiing and anything that’s a bit gnarly. I really enjoy building things, operating HUGE heavy equipment, and creating projects that have never been done before.
7) What’s a fun fact about you most people don’t know?
I really don’t like pickles. And I also love paddleboarding.
8) Do you have any hidden talents?
I’m really good at reading vibes. If the energy is good, I’m all in. If it’s not, I’m out. I’m also very good at building and shaping things like ramps and jumps, which comes from a natural ability to visualize things before they exist.
9) Who is someone you look up to outside the biking world?
I really look up to Danny Way, Laird Hamilton, Matt Hoffman, and CJ Carter (Diablo). They’ve been my biggest inspirations for as long as I can remember and continue to push me to challenge myself and help push the sport forward.
