Deck the Halls

If you are around Los Angeles on Dec. 5th, you should definitely go check out this event. It’s Alva’s Deck the Halls silent art auction and Alva Los Angeles’ 4 year Anniversary celebration. All proceeds from the silent auction will go directly to the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. Auctioning art will be provided by Artists and Pro skaters such as myself, Christian Hosoi, Mark Gonzales, Steve Olson, Jeff Ho, and Jason Adams just to name a few. Other auctioning items will be donated from the likes of Metallica, and Henry Rollins (among others). Fuel TV will be covering the celebration. Thanks to Exhibit Gallery A and Alva Los Angeles for including me in this amazing event!

Radford University Alumni Profile

Once upon a time (before I got into skateboarding professionally), I did go to college. I went to Radford University, a liberal arts school nestled deep in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia. I earned my BFA in visual arts there and graduated in 2000. If you would have asked me back then if I knew I would have pursued professional skating, I would have laughed at you. Funny how things come to be in this world! Anyway, RU just posted up an Alumna profile on me and my skateboarding. The link to the article is below and so are some pics of the campus and surrounding scenery there. Thanks for the memories, RU!
