About Me

MySpace Layouts Falling Objects Secret Notes Pimp Top Friends MySpace CodesJust had second knee surgery in two months. This time, to insert an ACL graft into my right knee. Stoked! Can't wait to start pushing it, getting strong again. Lunges, squats, hamstring curls & lots of fucking stretching...maybe learn some yoga & pilates too, for the rest of my body and mind. I love shredding, and I love my Lizzi. Can't wait to take her on winter vacations, shred pow, and then 'apre´s ski.' I just need my boys to have some ladies to drag along so I don't have to rip the gnarrness alone. Working my way into a career in professional land management. On a side note, I can't stand cheese. Cheesy soup, cheesy sandwiches, cheesy enchiladas, cheesy burritos, cheesy music, cheesy people, cheesy movies, cheesy jokes. All of it. No bueno.

My Interests

lizzi, the shredstick, physical therapy, golf, mountains, lake effect, water, football, coffee, imperial stout, IPA, Belgian strong ale, Crown Royal, shooting pool, the weather, politics, Spanish, toys, ethnic foods, travel, aloha, pura vida, keeping it realCheck out my homie Beau's website.

Movies:

the big lebowski, lord of war, fast times at ridgemont high, top gun, belly, pulp fiction, any Indiana Jones movie, and the ORIGINAL 3 star wars films. snowporn flicks are dope too. TB4, TB5, and anything else from Standard Films, Absinthe Productions, Teton Gravity Research, or Kris Ostness. Old Greg Stump movies are awesome too. And check out my crazy asshole friends... they like to play in the snow...http://www.dongshow-productions.com/

Television:

eSpN, MSNBC, HBO, Comedy Central. And Fox News for a good laugh.

Books:

for whom the bell tolls, the jungle, autobiography of a brown buffalo, into thin air, into the wild, fast food nation. wikipedia is definitely not a book, but it's probably the best free resource on the internet. so much good shit to read on there.

Heroes:

I'm down with Jesus Christ. But more generally, I admire people who are the best at what they do. My folks are pretty awesome, so is my knee surgeon, Dr. Shenton. I'm really impressed with that guy. And I do have man-crushes on Bruce Irons, Andy Irons, Kelly Slater, Nicolas Mueller, tha TRZA, Travis Rice, Marc Frank Montoya, Tiger Woods, and any dude that plays in the NFL (except kickers and punters; those guys aren't really football players).
