| Bio: | I bought my first skateboard when I was thirteen with the money I had saved that summer working in the corn fields of a small town in Illinois. Soon after that my dad's job moved us to Corona, California where I started skating every day. After a few odd jobs and a few odd sponsors, I ended up skating for and working at Active Ride Shop. I made a couple of sponsor-me tapes and gave one to Emerica and one to Toy Machine. Both companies put me on a flow program for a while eventually turning my amatuer in 1998. My first pro boards came out in 2002. Since then, I've had the opportunity to travel all over the U.S. and Europe just skating and learning along the way. Read this: Franny and Zooey by J.D.
