About me:

Welcome to Doug Brown's Skate Straight:
Professional Skateboarder Doug Brown brings you his special national program. Doug will discuss his career, his travels, and the importance of staying clear of drugs and alcohol. The Skate Straight presentation is touring libraries, schools, detention centers and other functions.

"I think he did an excellent job, he connected well with the young kids"
- Linda Uhler Wayne County Public Library Teen Advisor
"The kids enjoyed the show, definitely in the realm of inspirational"
-Timothy Wilkinson Ashland Parents Skaters Association
"Doug was approachable and has a personability to reach out and help"
- Annettte Kopp Strongsville Recreation
"The kids still talk about the event. Doug left a great impression on everyone"
- John Waller Teen Xtreme
"He's great with the kids, I just think he's great"
- Lisa Cartright Gravity House Skatepark
"A great role model. I can't say enough about him"
- Kathleen Hodges APSA
"Brown's energy and stories made for a great afternoon"
- Carol Reed Brunswick Library

"Not only did Doug have a great story but he told it in a way that kids should see it. Not just another, "Just Say No" speech. It came from a guy that knows what it takes. He has given everyone hope, dreams and the knowledge that you don't have to do drugs to be cool. The dude's a professional skateboarder fitting the criteria of being cool. Doug Brown has life on straight with these kids, the skaters, future skaters everyone listened and took it all in. We appreciate Doug's efforts to encourage all of us!" - Clinton County Skatepark Association

My Motivation
You may ask what I get out of doing my Skate Straight program across the nation at schools, libraries, detention centers, and events. It's the sense of purpose, of giving back, being pro-active, positive thinking, and leading a drug free life. People of all walks of life attend sharing their stories of how drugs and alcohol have affected their lives. Doing skate demos and contests have their purpose in my life. However getting the opportunity to share my life story and inspire people for positive change is most rewarding. I'm about humanity and compassion. We all go through tough times. Its adversity that makes strong people. My skateboard has become my microphone giving me a platform to reach people. I encourage people to find their nucleus and embrace their talents. Implementing a drug free message can allow people to achieve their dreams. The essence of Skate Straight is to motivate individuals to make good choices throughout their lives.
