Skate to Live, Live to Skate

About Me

I'm a skateboarder
I'm a musician
I'm a writer
I'm a videographer
I'm a jack of all trades
I'm a nomad
I'm an explorer on his journey through the uncharted
I was born in Mississippi and have lived in Florida, Louisianna, Texas, and now California. I've been making music and riding a skateboard ever since i can remember. From drumming in a punk band to turntablist battles, my music experience spans a wide range of influences and abilities. My skateboard is my other outlet of expression; since my first hand-me-down plastic banana board i've realized that skateboarding is more than something i do, it's a part of me. My skateboard brought me to SanDiego, where i've gotten to skate with some of the best downhill sliders in the world and has allowed me to give something back to skateboarding via teaching and being a crusty old dodger to the groms. I ride for Gravity Skateboards and have to give it up to Vinton @ 187 for making the best pads in the world, Tracker/Orion, Muir Surf&Sport, McGills Skateshop, my brothers in the NinjaBombSquad, The Texas Outlaws, RKR, DHB/Plum, and the bro's at Earthwing.
