Dave's
story is almost like telling the history of skateboarding.
He is 39 years old, born in 1962. His first rides
date back to 1969 when he was only 7 years old, sidewalk
surfing during the steel wheels era. In 1974 when
Dave was 12 years old when the invention of urethane
wheels made skating more terrain possible. He spent
days searching for underground spots, such as drainage
ditches and hundreds of backyard pools and parks.
Growing
up in Southern California, Dave was surfing and skateboarding,
eventually competing at the skateparks in the 1970's.
During the late 1970's he began to build skateboard
ramps for himself and friends in driveways and backyards.
At this time he began working full time and spent
ten years as a union carpenter. Dave continued to
compete as a top sponsored amateur throughout the
1980's, and worked with the National Skateboard Association
building and designing vert ramps and street courses.
Turning
pro in 1987 and designing his own signature boards
for the famous Alva Team led by world champion and
skateboard pioneer Tony Alva. The experience Dave
gained through managing and working with the Alva
team led him doing hundreds of demos and competitions
worldwide. Gaining knowledge of the skateboarding
business led Dave creating a business of his own in
1993, Focus Skateboards. The time partnering with
skateboarding legends Christian Hosoi, Eddie Reategui
and Chicken. The business included manufacturing and
distribution of skateboard decks, wheels, snowboards
and clothing.
Dave
has continued to be involved with all the major skateboard
and snowboard competitions worldwide and still continues
to compete in the Masters Division (30 years and over)
with all the other legends of the 1980's skate scene.
Dave takes great pride in his work and his deep passion
for these sports has driven him to achieve major accomplishments.
Dave is currently enjoying all aspects of his career
with such events as Vans Triple Crown, X Games and
Gravity Games. He and his crew are currently working
to design, build, advise and oversee the construction
of the best skateboard parks, ramps, street courses,
arena competitions and events in history.
