The skateboard that makes up the eyes and eyebrows of my mask represents a very large and important part of my life.  Since the age of eleven, I have been in love with skateboarding and making skateboard films.  I try to dedicate most of my free time to anything skateboarding related.

Skateboarding gave me an opportunity to explore my surroundings, venture to new places, and meet exciting people.  My friends and I skateboard and film mostly in all the boroughs of New York City, Long Island, and New Jersey, but now that some of my friends own cars, we drive to surrounding cities such as Washington D.C. and Boston.  I consider myself fortunate to be a skateboarder and hopefully I won’t have to stop doing it any time soon.
