My name is Matt, I am a skateboarder, it's my life and has been for the past Five years. I see Skateboarding as being a blessed movement, and in reference to me, it is a complete lifestyle. It's a way for me to express myself and it keeps me in harmony. I learn everyday from skating, it allows me to create and move my ideas into action in many ways. I take what I learn from skating and apply it to my life; it helps me with patience and persistence. It also keeps me very humble and for that I am thankful to skating, I have learned so much from it. I am a very quiet a shy person, at least most of the time. I find it unfortunate that people tend to judge me before knowing me. I would appreciate if people would take the time to learn how I am before casting a judgment. I pride myself in being a very honest, loyal, and moral person. I also take pride in my character and am proud of who I am as a person. I have learned in my life that struggle and adversity builds character; I find this true from experience. In describing myself; I am very outgoing, motivated, spiritual, and I am a very strong person. I have alot of heart, love to smile and be happy. I respect people if they respect me. I believe in trusting people until they destroy my trust in them. I have gained so much life experience through skateboarding, it has its ups and downs, but ultimately it is my passion and my life. If it's your passion as well, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks for the support from you all , keep skating!!! Skating has always been there for me, even when others in my life have not. I have dedicated my life to being a good person and most significantly, a SKATEBOARDER.....
