The Godfather of Skating, the Pied Piper of Skating, the Mayor of Golden Gate Park, these are some of the accolades bestowed upon me by the people of San Francisco. For over 4 decades, I have been a staunch advocate for everything roller skating including dance, speed, slalom, marathon and more. I’ve led skate-a-thons from San Francisco to Los Angeles for many causes like the Skate Against Hate, the Skate Against Violence, the Skate Against Hunger and more. I’ve donated skates to skaters in Kenya. I’ve built mobile roller rinks for events like Burning Man with 70,000+ attendees and the Electric Daisy Carnival with 500,000+ attendees. I have been involved with ballot initiatives and passing skate legislation to make roller skating legal in San Francisco and throughout California. I’ve skated with Mayors, negotiated with Governors, even recognized by a President. I have been involved with ballot initiatives and passing skate legislation to make roller skating legal in San Francisco and throughout California and even was involved in closing JFK Drive in Golden Gate Park to car traffic 24/7/ 365!!!All of this I do because I love roller skating.Some of my skate events have spread around the world. The San Francisco Friday Night Skate has seen thousands of inline skaters hitting the streets throughout the US and in England, Paris Amsterdam, Frankfurt, South Africa and other cities. I have developed a very vibrant and successful skate community at 6th Ave. Skatin’ Place in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and I own my own roller rink, the Church of 8 Wheels. This is a 130 year old Catholic Church I’ve turned into one of the world’s most unique roller skating venues.
