A b-boy at heart starting at the age of 5 years old in Pomona,CA.Skateboarding at 7 with my first homemade deck made by my dad.Getting my first pro deck at the age of 9 which was vision Gator(The deck wasn't complete,but I was the happiest kid that christmas).Getting introduced to graffiti at the age of 13 was just another element that I happened to be drawn to.So with all that,skateboarding in 2001 in the back of a grocery store and happening to have my artwork in the trunk of my car,some skaters gave me the idea to start my own company.Play Outsyde was the name I picked because it's something that alot of people can relate to and it's a name with a meaning,not just a label.
