I was actually born in Detroit, MI., but I've been living in S.F. since i was 7. i grew up in the avenues on 48Th. Frisco is unique in it's California mentality in an old east coast style city. S.F. is concentrated and intense from architecture to street people. it's always been that way. L.V. McBride grew up down the street from me. That's how i got into skating. Skating and music have always been my passions. Growing up i didn't realize skating the Embarcadero would one day be memories. S.F. is elitest that's why we can't skate EMB any more. I'm from the dark under T.L. clique of that era. We were not elite, but we fucked their daughters,and much worse. Skating kept me off the streets, in S.F. you have to have money to be living or your just surviving, so be sure to buy all my boards and C.D's, and all Pat Washington, p.w.esquire's PARAPHERNALIA !!!!!!!!! much love from where you gotta be SUCKA FREE$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
