20 Questions
Describe your climbing background?
I’m one of the many climbers that were bred in the climbing gym. I began climbing in Miami, Florida when I was 15 years old. The first few years were spent competing in indoor competitions. Once I graduated high school, I left the climbing gym and began boudering and sport climbing on rock. Eventually I was introduced to traditional climbing and was extremely inspired to take the skills I acquired bouldering and sport climbing to this new found style.   

Was there a big breakthrough or defining moment for you?
The biggest breakthrough I had in climbing was putting up my first route, the Iron Monkey (5.14). It was the first time I realized it is possible to climb really hard moves above gear. After this route I got inspired to climb as hard as I can on traditional routes.

What do you do when you're not climbing?
Well… 

Any training advice or suggestions?
Always try hard.

Who or what inspires you?
There is so much that inspires me. As for climbers, individuals that climb in a pure style always get me psyched. 

Anything that really irks you in the mountains?
Trash… I really hate it when I see climbers leaving their sh..  everywhere like it’s a dump. 

What's playing on your stereo/iPod or in your head right now?
Buck 65 and Sage Francis.

Seinfeld or Simpsons?
Simpsons for sure!!

What are your future plans or goals in climbing?
In 2008 I am really psyched to try and dedicate equal time to bouldering, sport climbing, traditional climbing and big wall climbing. I want to attempt to push myself in each stlye.
