So, I have been skateboarding since the age of 9, well over 3 decades now. Along with checking out many of the skaters of the day and reading the write-ups through Skateboarder and Thrasher magazine, I always, ALWAYS, looked at the photo credits and took note of who was capturing these awesome moments, Glen Friedman, Craig Styck, Ted Terrebone, Jim Goodrich, Mofo are just a few names that come to mind right off the bat, and these photographers have had just as much of an influence on me as the skaters themselves.

Skateboarding itself has always been a huge part of my life and can’t ever recall a point in my life when I didn’t own a skateboard.  I never entered or won any contest or hung out with the cool kids, it was just typically me, my board maybe a friend or two and a ratty old ramp, sweeping out a ditch or cleaning out the Darwin stew from the bottom of an abandon Arizona pool.
