Show notes
Chris is one of the most friendly and familiar faces in the Columbus scene. A skate lifer, he has taught hundreds of kids and adults how to confidently skateboard, often seen doing lessons and camps at  Skate Naked (RIP) and other local parks. His enthusiasm and positivity is unmatched, a true role model for countless youth. Chris has been fortunate enough to travel all over the country and world to skate with his wife Megan. Along with many crazy travel stories, Chris talks about growing up in Kent, working at Sunsports, moving to California to work at the Vans park in Orange, giving lessons to Jimmy Wilkins, and much more. Chris has been a part of damn near every chapter of Columbus skate history, and it was an honor to pick his brain about the past, present, and future of our shared passion. Hit him up if you're looking to get your kids or someone new involved in skateboarding!
