HOMETOWN: I've moved a lot , so I have more than one. These are the special places that have shaped who I am today: Dewitt, Iowa, is my true hometown. My childhood there was so carefree and fun. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is where I moved during high school; it was a tough change for me, but I became strong and very independent there. Missoula, Montana, was home to me for many years of college…and for snowboarding. I definitely found myself there and developed a deep respect for all things wild. Lastly, Seattle, Washington, is my most recent hometown and the place where I began to step it up and skate big concrete. All of these towns are home to me!

MENTORS ON YOUR PATH: My Grandma Petersen is an incredible woman. She has always been an inspiration -- she was the mother of eight boys and it never even seemed to faze her. She would be the last to complain about anyone or anything. She is very accepting and humble. My parents and sister are also mentors who have taught me that life is a gift. Respect it, accept it, and roll with it.
