He’s a true skateboarding legend, and his journey started way back as a kid featured in Blind Video Days. From there, he made a huge impact on the scene with his standout part in the Girl video Mouse, which really solidified his place in skate history. Before all the fame, though, life looked a bit different—he went to John Burroughs High School in Burbank, California, just like any other teenager. But things took a rough turn for him when he spent years battling drug addiction, a period where skating took a backseat. Despite those challenges, he found his way back, got clean, and made an incredible comeback that inspired so many. And through it all, he stayed close to his longtime girlfriend, eventually marrying her and building a new chapter of stability and success. Yeah, he’s had quite the ride—full of ups and downs—but today, he stands as a testament to resilience, passion, and redemption in the world of skateboarding.
