Corey can you explain your turning point from an amateur skater to pro? I was getting a lot of coverage and they wanted to turn me pro, everyone would always ask when are you going pro and they decided to do so! There it was..

How did you first get hooked up with Vivo headwear and what does the brand mean to you? Anthony hit me up one day from an email and since then I’ve loved the brand and helped design my collection and so on! best headwear out there!

How can your express you thoughts on your first collective goods with Vivo headwear? Well I have always worn weaved hats so that was a no brainer, we did some research and found the perfect hat! with a little tlc it became what it is! so stoked on it.. also i’m always making tee’s and I had the perfect one to fit the image I was going for!

We heard a story about how you discovered your passion for art by cutting the end of a shoe lace and started to paint with that, is that true? If so do you still paint like that? yes its true or I wouldn’t have said it, and no I don’t use that way to paint anymore… I use a normal brush now hahah

You seem to be doing a lot of artwork for snow and skate companies the few years what is your favourite piece so far? My favorite piece I have done is whatever I was doing at the time..its all love or nothing!

Hands down what has been the scariest moment skating in your life? Being in contests have always scared me! I got 3rd in the world cup and stopped skating them after that hahaha

What is the funniest moment you have had while on a skate trip? There’s way to many! all have been great and funny ! prob Africa when I kicked a tooth out of a dead hippos mouth! I still have it too ..

How can you describe your skating style? That’s something I cant answer! But having fun is the key!

What is your next step as a skater/artist? keep doing what I do ! create

What plans do you have with Vivo headwear in the future? To be apart of it as much as possible and help bring the brand to the masses! and always be on top of the game! Design wise
