I started skateboarding on a plastic skateboard around 1983 and shortly after began my journey into the world of skateboarding when I got my first used pro deck (Mark “Gator” Rogowski). I quickly learned the difference between commercial and professional skateboard parts so I was well knowledgeable as it was still the early stages of professional skateboarding. I was mostly a street skater which consisted on anything you could think of that was in the city. My experience started with street, launch ramps, pools, mini-ramps, and eventually skateparks became more accessible.

Over the years I have skated in amateur CASL contests, became friends and skated with pros, was filmed and filmed other skaters for video parts, skated in different countries, had a photo session with Thrasher Magazine photographer Joel Cherry, was current with new tricks, made my own skateboard design for Basic Skateboards (which became their #1 selling deck), had many sponsors like Fat Albert Clothing, local skate shops, Zorlak, Basic, Venture Trucks, etc…
I teach skateboarding to people of all ages as a courtesy when I am out and someone needs help to learn. I am a teacher by nature which includes subjects: Math, Special Needs Classroom Assistant, Robotic Engineering, Language Arts, Chess, and more. I have been skateboarding for over 30 years, so with my passion to teach and skate I will get the job done with some fun and with precision.
