I started skating when I was five years old, but never skated very well.  My interest was renewed as an adult eight years ago, when I started taking classes.  With proper instruction and regular practice, I became the skater I am today; good enough to have a couple of impressive moves and to become a Skate IA Level 1 Certified Instructor

I got my start as an adult skater by rolling at various rinks in the Bay Area.  But when my favorite rink, Cal Skate Milpitas, closed in 2011 I went searching for a new skating home.  Eventually I found myself at the 6th Avenue Skatin’ Place in Golden Gate Park.  Before long, I was skatin’ and steppin’ at all kinds of places in the City, including Inner Mission (Cellspace), the Women’s Building, and even outside the Ferry Building.  And now, we have the Church of 8 Wheels.

Being an instructor is not just about skating with skill.  In my time I have seen some top-notch skaters who try to teach others and fail.

In order to properly teach skating, various moves must be broken down in ways that can be understood by new skaters.  And that’s what I can do; use what I’ve learned over eight years to get you started in learning to skate, or to improve on what you already know.
