Age: 39's coming up quick.

Preferred Terrain: Jack of all terrains, master of none. I love transition but French fry curbs are all day every day.
Favorite skaters: Fuck... Grosso, Daewon, Ishod, BoozenTits, just everybody. I don't think anyone's not my favorite, heh.
Married: Only a few years, but she's the same lady I dated back in college.
Occupation: All around IT and multimedia/web dev. Communications coordinator for a state govt agency, emergency comm staffer for my state's DHS (hurricanes, emergencies), do some web stuff for the Louisiana Democratic party when needed.
I'm a really happy guy, but have been working through bouts of anxiety and depression... the depression stuff is new to me, but the anxiety is something I recently found out I've been working around for several years. I go from extremely extrovert to extremely introvert in phases that last several months to a year or more. Not moping around or anything, but I go from skating at the park everyday to like now, where I just roll out by myself and spot hunt and hit my usual spots where I know I can roll by myself and either drill on tricks or just experiment on new things. Skateboarding's been really therapeutic in a very real way for me over the past year especially.
Been really fortunate as far as health is concerned, and I think skating's been way more fulfilling since I turned 30... I always had an awkward style (I'm sketchy but consistent), so keeping up with the next cat had never really been my thing, but after 30 I think I gave even less thought about comparing my progression to anyone else. Been focused on street lately, but I phase back and forth on ramp and park, but I think street will have more permanence with me since it's just so scalable if that makes sense.
This is from last Christmas, rolling with one of my best pals in the neighborhood... we have these little jazz sessions where we dork out really hard and just laugh a lot. He's a young gun who has a really mature/old soul thing going on:
Roth, bv, shark... fuck yeah! Having one more cup of coffee and getting a session on.
