Q&A

• To me, Oakley is An innovative company in all areas it covers, which is pretty much anything you can think of. It is family too, and very supportive of creative sports people. Very few sponsors have the same attitude as Oakley, it's not just about product and financial support, it's a really good piece of mind to have them backing you because they are there for you.

• Who / What inspires you I get inspired when I see my friends going huge. Paul Basagoitia, Kyle Strait, Cam Mccaul, Aaron Chase, Kirt Vories, Adam Jones, and Mike Mason are killing it right now, which makes me want throw down.
