Und hier die Fragen:

Wie geht es Dir? Wir hoffen doch gut!?  Wie fühlt es sich an, der wahre  King of Wake zu sein? I am a very fortunate person. Working hard and being a good person to people has helped me  built a business around what I love. Life is good.
    
Wo bist Du genau in diesem Augenblick? Und was hast Du gestern gemacht? I am in my room doing emails, catching up with the outside world.  I am doing a bone stimulation treatment on my broken foot with a machine while I sit here. Yesterday I coached Alex Neuwirth, Robert Soven, and 7 students from N.C. STATE university. It was a very active day.

Das kann ich richtig gut (außer Wakeboarden):
My profession is promoting wakeboarding and teaching others about the sport. I started my school 10 years ago so I could become more involved with wakeboarding, and stay on the water all the time. Through time I’ve learned a lot from others and through practice. Now I love to help others progress, to run events, judge, drive, compete, film, take pictures, and anything I can to keep up the profession.
     
Was treibt Dich an? Deine innere Stimme (Ehrgeiz), Freunde und Family – der Hang zum Ruhm (einmal VIP und zurück)? Was ist Deine Passion?  The more I coach and ride each day the more energy I have. I have always thrived off of a busy, active lifestyle. People and the experiences I have with them help me stay stoked on life! I’m lucky to do the work I do, and appreciate it. I am into a PH focused diet, an Alkaline diet. This is a great diet for people.

Verrückteste Erfahrung/ schönste Begegnung, die Du je hattest? Probably the craziest thing I’ve ever done (that I will publicly talk about haha) was a wakeboarding experience riding doubles at night with my friend Todd Anthony. We strapped glowsticks to our vests and boards and were riding behind an old XStar with fire torches on the tower and tower lights. We still couldn’t see well but we were throwing tricks over each other to show off for our friends. We are lucky we didn’t get hurt!

Was wärst Du, wenn du kein Snowboard Pro wärst?  I almost chose to pursue tennis, before wakeboarding. That would have been cool. Realistically, I can see myself either being a doctor of psychology, a nutrician, or a personal trainer. I might retire towards owning a Rental Property business. Hopefully the wakeboarding school can continue on for a while!

An welchem Trick arbeitest Du gerade?  I’m waiting to ride again. Then its going to be several weeks of building my strength and timing again, working through basic towards advanced exercises behind the boat, on the cable, and on the trampoline. My broken foot put a stop to all of this. When I get my essential tricks back I want to work on everything!!! Like, I want to add more style to what I do, go bigger than before, land more consistently, do more tricks switch that I don’t do regular, and learn some new moves, I’ve never done before.
     
Contests für 2010? Ziele? I want to win every contest I enter.  I’ll wait until I’m healthy and strong to start competing, somewhere in May or June hopefully.

Warum Wakeboarden??? Warum nicht Fußball spielen, Tischtennis, Stromgitarre spielen oder ähnliches, wie alle anderen Kinder auch? Was hat Dich zu DEINEM Sport getrieben?  Well, I almost chose tennis instead of wakeboarding. It stopped being fun so I stopped playing for a while. Wakeboarding and being on the boat ist he funnest thing in the world, especially when the riding is good, ort the weather, ort the ladies in the boat.
My mentor was doing quite well for himself, so it showed me the possibilities in wakeboarding. So I followed. I’m lucky to have this influence.
     
Erzähl unseren Lesern wie Dein Alltag aussieht: Wo lebst Du? Und wie ist das Leben da so….Everyday life is very busy for me. I start early and go late each day, with a lot of sunlight. If I’m around wakeboarding, I’m going 300km/hr, teaching organizing, driving, gassing the boats, setting up boards, talking with people, trying to catch up on eating and phone calls, riding, working out, talking with people, trying to catch up on advertising/self-promotion for the school and my sponsors, trampolining, coaching, competing, judging, travelling (average of 15 events/year), trying to catch up with my girlfriend, friends, and family..

In an off moment, I’m catching up on sleep, time with my girlfriend, advertising, video editing, facebooking, music, family, downtown Orlando, friends, music.
