About me:
I have been making decks in one way or another since I was 8 years old. I established SMA Skateboards in 1978, when I was 30, and it was one of the three original Dogtown Companies (Alva, Dogtown being the other two).
I am really thankful for all the people who have had contact with me and SMA: Natas Kaupas, Julien Stranger, Mofo, Craig Stecyk, Jack Waterman, Jim Shulty, Novak and Fausto, Alan Peterson, Scott Anderson, my mother (R.I.P.), Nathan Pratt, Jay Adams, David Hackett, Dave Rogerson, Luca, Dean Edwards, Dave Anderson, Watson Laminates Crew, Steve Godoy, Jim Ganzer, Robbie Dick, 'Pineapple", my trademark attorney, B. Paul Cullen, Chad White, Jeff Whitehead, Henry Sarria, Jim and Bill from Rip City (my oldest dealer), Mark Richards at Val Surf, Eddie Talbot at ET Surf, all the people who hung in with me during the tight times (Wes Humpston, Derrick Perris, Bennett Harada, Kevin Ancell, Janus Barberi, Mike from KC, Auggie, Brendan Murdock, Andrew Currie, Jessie Martinez, the Zenters, Ray Flores, Earl, and everyone I missed, and you the customer.
