Helping Me, Helping Others

My Sponsors

With diminishing skate shops, I'm grateful that Rollerblade sponsors my skate school with skates and protective gear. They also helped me promote my Free Skate Lessons program when that was active and the San Francisco area Camp Rollerblade Weekends.

I've enjoyed a long-time relationship with Zephyr, starting as a tour guide, then skate camp instructor, and finally, as director / instructor for the first Weekend Camp Rollerblade that trialed in 2005 in the San Francisco area. Dan and I have had two fantastic travel experiences as Zephyr customers, and so will other adventurous skaters, bicyclists, walkers and families.
