I started skating at 5 years old when my dad brought home a skateboard he found at a junk yard. I developed a passion for skateboarding right away. As a kid I would build my own ramps from any materials I could find. My passion for both skateboarding and building ramps led to my own business. I ran a portable skatepark from 2008-2014. The skatepark would set up at events such as county fairs and summer camps for kids. My team and I would put on a show and teach kids how to skate. More recently, I have been in the professional field stuck behind a desk. I enjoy whenever I can get out and teach kids how to skate.

I'm a lifelong OG skateboarder and professional educator. I have 20 years of professional experience educating as a public school high school teacher. I also taught sk8 camp every summer for 7 years at Vans Skatepark until the park closed. I even taught with the vert camp clinics with Bucky Lasek and Mike Frazier. They knew me as the “Magi”. I also had the honor and pleasure of teaching sk8 camp with living legend Bill Danforth at Modern Skatepark in the D. I'm in the “coaching condition” of my trajectory as a skateboarder. While I observe limits with my own personal growth as a skateboarder, I have a fluent understanding of our art to coach all levels of skateboarders to grow and develop their skills. From learning to push, to dropping in, to ollie, transition, and street - I got this.

Expertise and Skill: As a skateboarding teacher, it's essential to have a high level of expertise and skill in skateboarding yourself. Students will look to you as a knowledgeable source and a role model, so possessing a solid foundation of skateboarding techniques and tricks is crucial. Patience and Empathy: Skateboarding can be challenging, especially for beginners. A good teacher understands the learning curve and patiently guides students through the process. Demonstrating empathy and understanding their frustrations or difficulties helps create a supportive and encouraging learning environment. Clear Communication: Effective communication is key to being a good teacher. You should be able to clearly explain skateboarding concepts, techniques, and safety guidelines to students of varying skill levels. Breaking down complex movements into manageable steps and providing constructive feedback is essential for students' understanding and improvement. Adaptability and Individualized Instruction: Every student is unique, with different learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses. A great teacher recognizes these differences and tailors their instruction accordingly. Adapting teaching methods to suit individual needs ensures that each student receives the guidance and support necessary for their progress. Safety Focus: Safety should always be a top priority when teaching skateboarding. A good teacher emphasizes the importance of protective gear, teaches students how to fall safely, and enforces proper skate park etiquette. Instilling good safety practices from the beginning helps students develop responsible habits that they can carry with them throughout their skateboarding journey. Passion and Enthusiasm: A genuine passion for skateboarding is contagious and can inspire students to embrace the sport and push their limits. Demonstrating enthusiasm, sharing your own experiences, and fostering a love for skateboarding can make the learning process more enjoyable and motivating for your students. Adaptability and Continuous Learning: Skateboarding is constantly evolving, with new tricks, trends, and equipment emerging regularly. A good teacher stays up-to-date with the latest developments in the sport, continually seeks new knowledge, and adapts their teaching methods accordingly. Remaining open-minded and willing to learn alongside your students ensures that you can provide the most relevant and effective instruction.
