Skateboarding has been a part of my life since I moved to North Carolina in 2006. It started off with me and my friends building ramps in our driveways and learning new stuff all the time, and then progressed to us going to the local skateparks all the time. I stopped skateboarding for a long time because I just thought I wasn’t cut out for it and I really enjoyed watching other people skate and photographing people skateboarding. Skateboarding has done so much for me, all my friends I have now I met through skateboarding and I respect skateboarders in general and the mindset to fall hard and be able to get back up and complete what you were trying to do.
