Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a skateboarder who loves to read and write. I have written and published two books. Both are children’s books geared towards k-5. The first is a youth mystery, black magic. This recent book is a mixture of my skateboarding journey and the art of skateboarding and how it installs creativity at a young age.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Cement Dreams: A Skaters Journal is my latest book and its a mixture of my journey as a skater and the art of skateboarding. I want to reach a younger audience and get them involved in the sport early.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really. It takes me a while to put it all together and I still have a lot to learn.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Dee Martin, Memoir Of A Vampire From A Born Again Teenager. Dee is my aunt and she is a big inspiration. Also Tony Hawk, Hawk: Occupation: Skateboarder is good.
What are you working on now?
Skateboarding now. I do want to write a comic book eventually.

What’s next for you as a writer?
To just keep writing and growing.
What is your favorite book of all time?
It would probably be House Arrest or Booked. I like them both a lot.
