About Me


A majority of people i meet in Ministry/Skateboarding only communicate through this avenue "myspace" so this is the ONLY reason you see me on here. So if you know me from travels whats up.... if you dont move along and have great day!!!
What ever happened to email?
First and foremost- God has transformed me from having no direction to giving my life a direction, having no purpose to giving my life a purpose and saved me from a life of worthlessness, and has given me everything I need from family to clothes to food. For the last 7 years I have had the privilege of running a ministry where i have seen 1000s of miracles and seen 1000s of people make life changing decisions like i did years ago. When i die i dont want to be known for starting a skateboard company or whatever, but by what i did while i was here on earth to make a differnce for eternity! The bottom line is I will be forever grateful and will serve my savior Jesus Christ until my last dying breath!
