Being a husband and a dad is my inspiration.

Through my surfing, I met all my friends that helped me out in the music world, and so that's kind of how it all began. So, it was the surfing and then the music.

[The Surf Lodge performance] is sort of like an annual thing.

I grew up in Orange County, California, all over the beaches of San Clemente and that area.

Traveling is also a big inspiration for me.

I started surfing at the age of 10, and then turned professional at the age of 16, which was right around the same time I took up the guitar. So, the surfing came first.

Definitely my wife and my kid [are my biggest inspiration].
