Ive been a skateboarder since 1988 and skated all through the 90’s at the skatepark of Tampa. Almost went pro but due to an ankle injury it never came to pass. I competed with the best from 95-2001 and have never stopped skateboarding. I am currently certified to teach skateboarding by the International Skateboard association. Skateboarding is my life, I own and operate my own skateshop and indoor skatepark in Chicago. I also own another skate shop in Naples FL. I also work as a personal trainer part time and have done so for over 20 years. I am AED and CPR certified and hold over 3 certifications in Sports and Athletic Conditioning and Personal Training with NASM and ISSA.
