Technology has allowed me to reach my fans directly. Social media: it has been a complete revolution of how to interact, promote and share things.

My youngest son's pre-school class was recently asked what their dads do for work. The responses were things like, my dad sells money, and my dad figures stuff out. My son said, 'I've never seen my dad do work.' It's true. Skateboarding doesn't seem like real work, but I'm proud of what I do.

I wanted to promote skateboarding as much as possible through different media.
