Old School Skater Chick

About Me


I live by the beach in San Diego and own an old school skate shop & vintage skate museum with my skateboard collector partner David =) I also make skateboards--longboards, and re-issued boards from the 70's and 80's. I grew up in the middle of the Surf and Skate Industry since my father owns a big name Surf/Skate company and have managed a Surf Shop Chain for him, I've also done Surfboard production for a wellknown surfboard label (my Daddy's brand), Surf Tshirt design, Ads and Marketing...and on and on... I also am an artist and web designer too. And I lived on Maui for 4 years to escape California enjoying complete paradise with warm water to surf in every day! =)
I have varied interests and can be just as happy in a dive bar playing pool with a beer as in a fancy restaurant with an ocean view and a bottle of wine. I love music...most kinds, and love to dance when I get the chance. My freinds and I love the Lava Lounge in Hollywood and make the trek to see the Blue Hawaiians at least once a year =).
I think its important to be positive, happy and laugh alot...I also love all kinds of art, culture, and intelligent & creative people.....Im completely fascinated by people who can make something out of nothing. I'm especially proud of my kids who I actually like as people.

My Interests

I'm multi faceted. I love Live Music, playing pool, sunsets, zombie movies, rain, candles, rollercoasters, chocolate....and BRAVO
