Wade grew up in Thousand Oaks, CA where he got his start early in skateboarding. Building skate ramps in the back yard at a young age, Wade was able to quickly learn many sports that he still enjoys today.

Living in Aliso Viejo today with his wife Sara D., Wade is in the heart of the action in Southern California with friends that are part of some of our favorite companies; Volcom, Billabong, VonZipper, Realm, Oakley, Etnies, Electric, Nixon and more. Wade still takes yearly trips to Utah where he boards at his favorite mountain, Brighton.
