Where Ya From
Southside Minneapolis born n bred.
Years Snowskating
22 years, bout 18 on bidecks too.
Why Snowskating
It feels right. It takes some of the best things about snowboarding but adds a lil sketchy precision factor that opens up the mountain or city in a different way and makes you aware of all the little things and your micro-movements. It’s flowy and you get to move your feet / stance around at all times. Turns the mountain into a giant skatepark!
Inspiration
Snowboarding, Skating, Mountain Biking, Art, Architecture.
Why Draw
Because I’ve known Paul for 13 or so years and seen his progression and dedication to R&D and crafting some of the best boards in the industry. It’s all homies here at Draw but it’s also backed by an insane amount of riding time and knowledge. I was stoked to be deeply involved in the design process for my model and have input into others. Draw is passion driven, authentic as it gets.

Why snowskating Snowskating because it’s not snowboarding, or skateboarding, or skiing, or teams of dudes slapping ass cause of their ball fondling skills, but because it is Snowskating.
Inspiration
I’m inspired by all the whack content people keep putting out because I know when ours drops it’s going to blow that other suspect shit out the water.
Why Draw
Draw because Elkins is the homie, the company is grassroots, and draw is fused for all riding types from whack to the kinda shit I do. (more than half of what I try turns out whack anyway so no hate)

Years Snowskating
No idea.
Why Snowskating
Because it’s the natural progression of the flow of juice that made me want to snowboard in the first place. Industry has always been riddled by debauchery and resort culture is pure poison. Snowskating gives you a perspective that provides an opportunity to transcend the stail hell that is a Vail affiliated resort.
One time I saw Flogging Molly play in front of 200 people at the Nile theater in Mesa. Another time I saw AFI play on a foot high stage in Tempe. Snowskating right now kinda feels like that. One day it’ll get bum rushed by the masses but for now it’s just a punk show in a basement.
Inspiration
sunshine , turns without a cause, pretty girls, good dogs and funny fat cats on youtube.
Why Draw: Because the boards are hand made for where I ride. The shapes are badass and the specs dialed to the millimeter. I’ve seen the effort and resulting progression that culminated in these boards. It didn’t happen overnight and nothing happened without work. These are the Hatori Hanzo of skates, made by a master.
In Paul we trust!
