<p><p><u><em><strong>Education. Training. Development, Skateboarding.</strong></em></u></p></p><p><p> </p></p><p><p>Finding talent can often be a struggle in this industry driven by Passion, and individualism. Action Sports have no shortage of Diamonds in the rough, but who is there to properly mold them, and harvest their potential, once they are off the board?</p></p><p><p> </p></p><p><p>I spent the last decade working with Professors and educators on strategies to best engage their students. I trained them on the latest software and tools to assess knowledge and build attractive learning environments While working in Higher ed, I've maintained my alter identity in the local skateboard scene as a brand owner, and mentor working directly with the youth, some of which are students of the same faculty I help in my day Job. What that does is build connections. A bridge between worlds that do not normally interact with each other on a peer-to-peer level.</p></p><p><p> </p></p><p><p>My hope is to be able to bring my unique skill set to the action sports industry to provide high-level training, learning, and mentorship to an industry I love. I want to Enable our community with the ability to acquire the skills to succeed off the board. From soft skills like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. To hard skills like point of sales, inventory management, and production. Please look to me to help design, implement, and improve your team development. I want to harvest the raw talent, drive and ambition, we all have as athletes and funnel that energy into roles behind the scenes.</p></p><p><p> </p></p><p><p>I am available, for Lectures, Webinars, and Consultations.</p></p>
