I received my first skateboard in 2005 when I was 11 years old and have tried to skate every day ever since. After graduating from Illinois State University I decided I needed a change, so I migrated to Southern California. I’m having a ball exploring my new neighborhood and skating with so many freestylers. I spend most of my time making freestyle videos for my YouTube channel. You can follow my videos on the link below to view more tips on how to do freestyle tricks.

I find that the freestyle skateboarding community is the most unique, creative, and neurotic group of athletes in the world. I love coming to the World Round-Up each year to see my best friends and skate with some of the best freestyle skaters around, it’s amazing. When I am not skateboarding I like to draw and design things, work on social media marketing, and eat Ramen noodles.

To anyone who’s new to freestyle, I’d suggest joining Facebook groups like the F-forum or the World Round-Up page. They’re both great places to find trick tips, upcoming events, and juicy gossip. Other than that, just do your thing, homie.
