Growing up in Greenville, North Carolina, I was fortunate to be surrounded by the most influential athletes in BMX freestyle, an environment that helped shape my passion for the sport and the industry.

After my professional BMX career, I always kept a close connection to the sport I loved and enjoyed.

Since launching AUS10designs in 2022, I’ve had the opportunity to create custom-painted helmets for athletes all over, helping showcase their identity, sponsors, and achievements with unique designs.

With over 25 years within the industry, my focus will always be the athletes needs and giving them a product they deserve and can be proud of.
