Preferred Terrain: I was pure street skater (I hate parks, except DIYs) my entire life, but “discovered” transition about a year and half ago. Been skating mostly mini ramps recently. That said, my favorites are curbs, small ledges, DIYs, barriers, banks, and tranny. I despise “perfect” skate parks—has to have some crust factor or I won’t go near it.
Favorite skaters: BA.KU., J. Stranger, Natas, Tommy G., Chris Miller, Jerry Gurney, Matt Hensley, Lance, B.A., Danny Way, Burnquist, Frank Gerwer, Tom Knox, Dressen, Ethan Fowler, Mike V., Dune, Chris Pfanner, GT, pretty much all the Anti-Hero guys.
Music: Punk, post-punk, metal, darkwave, big band/swing, old hip-hop, soul/funk.
Married: No. Got out of 7.5-year-long relationship awhile ago.
Kids: Hell, no! I can’t even keep plants alive.
Occupation: I was a lawyer, but I quit practicing law. Now I am a security manager at a large bar / night club.
Here are two pics of me from within the last month. First handrail in over 20 years, and a great bail shot at a local bowl. At my age, I consider it a blessing that I can skate
at all. I am grateful for every session that I have, and I'm having more fun skating in my 40s than I
ever did when I was younger.
