As I was living in Japan, I endured an injury that pulled me away from naval services for a brief period. I have grown up skateboarding and I wanted to contribute to the sport. So in the midst of a lull by injury, I built my own hydraulic press, placed it in the spare room in my apartment (in fricken Japan!!...iykyk - 愛してる), ordered some Canadian maple, and I got busy pressing boards. I learned to shape, screen print, and finish decks on my own and sold them out of Bright Idea Skateshop (1-4 Hanazonocho, Sasebo, Nagasaki 857-0024, Japan - Shoutout!). I also launched clothing line associated with the brand that was pretty rad and may pop up again. Check the link for Distraught history.
