I grew up in Fountain Valley, California during the mid 80s. The punk/skate scene was really taking off out here and I was immediately drawn to the lifestyle. You could find me, the angry guy with the leather jacket roaming around the beach cities causing a ruckus. In 2002 I opened a skate shop in Santa Ana and Arkansas, my heart began to shift. I loved watching the kids come in and being able to encourage them to make wise choices and becoming better skaters. My heart really grew for the youth. While in Arkansas I had the opportunity to host a skate demo with KKSM and saw the youth come alive! I also organized a city-wide skate competition to raise funds to improve the local skate park. When I came back to California I began attending a church that really encouraged me in reaching out. It was there my vision was refined to combine my passion for skateboarding, the youth, and the love of God. I took it to God and He gave me Frontier Youth Ministries. I have chosen a team that cares deeply for the youth of America, but more importantly loves God with a passion.
