What do you actively do to cut back on your carbon footprint?
I work in the logging business and big machines are involved so I shut them down in between uses. I have to work on my living style and make some changes. There are few small things I change in my life, at least I am happy to realize it's so often in our hands to make these choices.

Was there someone or some event that inspired you to get involved in your sport/activity?
Not really an event, but being on the mountain and seeing everybody shredding and having fun with what they do.

What advice would you give your 10-year-old self?
Stay healthy, do what you think you have to, and stay true to yourself.

If you were stranded alone in the wilderness, name 3 things you would want to have with you.
Friends, a clear mind, and motivation.

What would be the theme song describing your life?
Here I go again - Whitesnake.

What is/are your hidden talent(s)?
I motivate people, take the situation how it is, and I don’t get stressed.

Describe yourself in 3 words.
Grounded, easy-peazy, sometimes too lazy.
