Hey Shredders!
I first hopped on a skateboard when I was 7 years old and struggled really hard to learn the basics. But, after years of practice I began progressing and developing not only new tricks, but a new passion.
I still skateboard today and don’t ever see myself stopping, there is so much more to the sport than the activity itself. Once you get into it, the common bond, culture and energy about the community is so much fun to be involved in. The sport has lead me to branch out into other extreme sports as well like snowboarding, mountain biking, and surfing.
However as cool as it would sound I am not a “professional” skateboarder more so a very experienced rider with a drive to make sure the sport stays alive (which is part of my drive to become an instructor). I have held small sponsorships with globe shoes and Pacsun.
I am a 23 Year old college student studying Architecture and Construction Management Engineering. I am interested in becoming an instructor to help with college funds and to help inspire young riders.  I have 2 summers experience as a summer recreation camp counselor (age 6-12), and I am a full time older brother of  3 younger siblings (age 10-21). I attended Woodward Camp for 7 summers between the ages of 7 and 14, so I am familiar with skateboarding instruction programs and their value in helping develop the skillset needed to skateboard. If you are not familiar with camp Woodward, look it up, it is the gold standard in extreme sports instruction programs. ( but is a sleep away camp as opposed to private ongoing lessons)
