have to do drugs to be cool. The dude's a professional

efforts to encourage all of us!" - Clinton County

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.
