My name is Grant and this is about me
So this is my first time every blogging about anything. I guess I will tell you about myself. I am 22 years old and I live in Jacksonville, Florida. I have been married for 2 years and I have a 1 month old beautiful baby girl named Anne Marie. I own a clothing company, which everyone can probably deduce, called In Chaos. My ultimate goal in life would be if I could provide for my family through only doing my clothing line, sadly right now that is not the case. I work for a bank in the document custody department right now to make ends meet. I do really well at it, but I fucking cant stand to sit inside all day. But, enough negativity.
I was born and raised in Jax Beach. I grew up surfing and skateboarding since a really early age. I think my dad put me on my first skateboard when I was 6. I remember it like it was yesterday. We were at Kona skatepark and I was to scared to drop into anything, so my dad (who had not skated since the late 70's early 80's) grabbed a rental board and helmet. In disbelief I watched him walk out of the clubhouse with an old school vision under his arm and one of those really old skate helmets that covers the ear. He walked right over and dropped in and cruzd the whole concrete area. So after that I dropped in and 16 years later im still doing it.
Dad - If you ever get to read this I want you to know that you have always been an inspiration to me. I have always looked up to you and valued your opinion most. With this new begining in my life (Anne Marie) come new challenges. I frequently look back on my life and think about how you handled a similar situation so that I can make the best descision possible. The day you grabbed that board you became a superhero to me. I still think of you that way and my hope is that one day my kids will do the same.
Best Wishes,
Grant
