First obvious question. Couldn't leave your mom out of this. I'm genuinely curious, what’s the last thing that your mom texted you about?

It was probably about my Halloween costume. She sent me some props.

I noticed an Instagram story the other day of a stone wall you had going. Are you taking to masonry now, in the vein of your dad?

Yeah, actually, Marcus is the mason, and he was heading up the project. But I am taking to masonry, and I love mixing concrete by hand.

Would you rather a Mount Baker rain day or a sun crust heli day?

I'm gonna say Mount Baker rain day all day over a sun crust heli day.

In the Mount Baker vein, do you have someone in mind as the most underrated Mount Baker rider?

There's a lot of them. I don't know if you've heard of Riders Unknown. They've come out with a couple of movies— It's hard to say, because in the Baker sphere, they’re very known, but out in the world, yeah, probably not that known. So, I'm just gonna say it’s Seth Holton, who makes those videos.

I'm asking you to really stake a claim here: what is the best lobster roll spot in Rhode Island?

Oh, Monahan’s all day, hot lobster roll.

What’s one thing you miss most about Rhode Island?

Del’s Lemonade.

Smart. As a Mount Baker local and someone who's been in a helicopter all over Alaska, do you ever miss the streets?

Yeah, yeah, I do. I love riding rails, and I haven't stopped riding them. You know, they say if you love something, you have to set it free. So, yeah, I still miss it, but I don’t think that when I’m out there in the mountains, that's necessarily what I'm thinking about.

Totally. So, you're ready to hit the streets if called to it?

I’m ready...
