Welcome to My Substack!
This is my personal and career-spanning time capsule. In it, I will place new and archival writings, photos, videos, music, and other mementos from all the different seasons and chapters of my life on and off the board.
This is the one place where I can interact with you consistently, where we can have an ongoing dialogue and build a community of optimistic, enthusiastic, and positively inspired lovers of skateboarding.

Every Thursday at 3 p.m. ET, I welcome you to my home, where I will share stories from my life and career in professional skateboarding. Playback and show archives are available exclusively to paid subscribers.
About Me
I’m a writer, skateboarder, and musician. I began writing when I was eight, started skateboarding at fourteen, and joined my first band at fifteen. I met my wife, Ann, when I was eighteen, and we married at twenty-one. Our daughter Emily was born when we were twenty-two, followed by our daughter Lucy when we were thirty-one.
I live in Des Moines, Iowa, with Ann and our French bulldogs, Bentley and Dozer. When I’m not writing, skateboarding, or playing music, I enjoy riding my bike, hiking in the woods, birdwatching, and playing with the dogs.
Thanks for your support!
Much Love!
