In My Own Words
Skateboarding has shaped just about everything I have done in since the age of twelve. I am looking for an opportunity to work in the skate/action sports industry where I can put my skills in sales, management, and warehousing to good use. I would like nothing more than to help the industry thrive like it has helped me thrive for most of my life.
