I've spent all of my adult years in the mountains of Colorado. All along working odd jobs to fund my passions. In the last 5 years I began to chase a dream of making a living skateboarding. I've started a small skateboard company, I am head of the board of a non profit called Gunnison Valley Skate Alliance, where we work with town councils in the Gunnison Valley to promote skateboarding and upkeep of skateparks. Through G.V.S.A. I spearheaded the Butte Bowl Bash annual skateboard contest (5 years and running) which is an amazing day-long event with food and beverages, live music and of course a skateboard contest. I'm currently in Los Angeles the "hub" of skateboarding to advance my skills, market and grow my overall knowledge. I've worked so many jobs along the way from snow removal, action photography and sales, gas station attendant, Taco Designer, to skateboard coach. And I can guarantee all of my previous employers will praise my performance and motivation to succeed at anything I'm faced with. Thanks for reading!
