Pro Skater Lives In Shed ‌


I was raised in Wichita,Kansas, & was going through some really bad times in my life, I just turned 21 and a past relationship made me pretty much start giving up on myself.  So my friend Andrew took me in and asked me how he could help to make my dreams come true. I said "To Live In California!" So he bought me a one way ticket the next morning, the very first push I've had to do anything in my life! Moving to California was the best decision for me, but not having a plan, money, food or transportation can be the biggest problems.
I pretty much started living out here homeless in a shed barely selling enough cans to eat just so I can skate and travel!
"The only thing that keeps me pushing and aiming for my dreams is skateboarding. It's my biggest passion and I'm willing to go as for as needed to reach my goals."

"I started when I was 11 years old and I fell in love with a challenge that never stopped, challenging me. Skateboarding has taught me to fail but get back up and try again. The best feeling is working hours on a trick, falling again & again, still running back up and that one time you flick your board just right you can hear the wood snap, then that catch which when you know you have control and landing rolling away perfect, it's like trying a cookie for the first time! 

Everyone needs help at times and I honestly need help of you guys.
