Sitting in the airport on my way to Nanjing to see Juny, Andrew and
Charles. Getting the 2009 Sockwa line tweaked for prime time.
Skateboarding magazine in hand and thinking about those Hollywood
Nights.

Exciting year coming up. Lots of irons heating up. Cool people to the
left and right. A positive attitude that can't be stopped.

23 years to the day that my Dad has passed. Boy is he missed. What a
team we would have made. Well, at least he's here in spirit.

Just finished Dan Brown's Angels & Demons. Great book; thanks Cary.

So how do I get all this product made. I make it myself. NOT! I have
spent the last few years building strong relationships with several
different factories throughout China.

I snapped this picture of the New Beijing Airport the last time I
travelled through. Beautiful and well designed.

Where is this bus going?

I was walking around the campus today and came across this "Old

again. Maybe one day.

Ava learns to ride a bicycle!

2008-12-06T11:18:00.000-08:00

Today is a HUGE day! Ava did it! She transitioned from a wooden
scoot bike to a real bicycle with no training wheels.

I am really proud of her. She did it with confidence and did great.

The fun doesn't stop

2008-12-05T19:26:00.000-08:00

More happy times ahead! For all of us. Come along for the ride.

It's right in front of you.

Thanks to Nadia Franconi and The Magic Wheel, this beautiful girl has
ignited a revolution. BoothSeven is a brand that was launched in
August 2008 in Las Vegas, at the CHAMPS show.

We will be back there in March 2009 with an improved Magic Wheel that
is airtight and watertight. We are also aiming to have a few other
products that might turn some heads!

Skateboard Inspired Furniture - Bookshelves and Picture Frames

2007-10-24T23:00:00.000-07:00

Here is my latest product offering for SkateLab Furniture

SkateLab Product Launch at Target.com

2007-10-13T18:15:00.000-07:00

Hello all...I am on pins and needles about my latest endeavor. I had recently designed a line of Skateboard inspired furniture and accessories, and beleived that it was right up Target's alley. So, I had some help with proto-types, and photographed them in a nice setting, and pounded on the doors of the Giant...Target.

I called and harassed more people that I should admit, but finally got in touch with a buyer in Trends and someone who was open enough to listen for a few minutes. Thanks Dave!

That lead me to hop on the next plane for China, and be sure that I can find the appropriate manufacturer to make this product. I knew that China was the obvious choice, even though they've been in the news with regards to tainted product. I don't like stereotyping.

Working with China while living in the United States is certainly a challenge....but I love a good challenge. Anyway, my 1st container of SkateLab product arrived this past Wednesday night, and is currently in my Hollywood Warehouse, waiting, just waiting for people to see the stuff on Target.com and buy it up.

The quality is good to great, and the designs are top rate. I hope that you will get a chance to see it and possibly adorn your home with my product. I beleive in everything I design and make, and I know that comes across in the product.

You can view it on my website

Thanks for listening.
