It starts here, I was 10. My friend brought over a plank of plastic with two boot straps attached to it.

We received a fresh blanket of snow and school was closed for a week. We built jumps and "boarded" all day. Even though neither of us could hardly ride that plastic plank. None the less, it sparked something within.

One Christmas my parents gifted me a Snowboard kit. Board, bindings, and boots, the whole lot. Taking it out several times that winter (when it did snow) I was fulfilled.

However, at the age of 15, I had my sights on becoming a collegiate baseball athlete. With that goal, the risks of injury would be detrimental. So I put my board up on the top shelf of my closet and closed the door.

It wasn't until one of my collegiate teammates introduced me to one of my dearest friends/brother. After 10 years he got me back into snowboarding. I blew the dust off my board and got after it. What was once a spark, had now transcended into a raging inferno.

Spending my winters on the mountains, east and west as much as possible; somehow the nuance of life seemed to get in the way. I found it to be extremely disheartening that I couldn't spend my winters on the mountains like I planned. "Thats just life" some might say.

I say otherwise! It wasn't until I was faced with a three month lay off where I gathered that disposition. I took that time, meditated on what I really wanted in life. The freedom to spend my winters in the mountains shredding. How?

People have always said "Vinny you could talk to a brick wall and by the end of it you would be best friends". So I took that and ran with it.

Running right up to marketings door step. I read, I studied, and learned from several top tier marketers, some in action sports and some in the music industry.

Now, Im here. Helping others ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS! All the while LIVING THE DREAM I WANT!
