A former debate coach and English teacher turned computer programmer, Scott co-founded Parents for Skateparks with Kate Martin and has been maintaining this web site ever since.

Dan started skating at age 11 when his uncle gave him a skateboard. He built many ramps and boards as a teenager, and continued skating until the skateparks were closed in the mid 80's due to insurance problems.

In the late 90's cities started building skateparks due to skateboarding being added to the limited liability statues in many states. Dan was coaching baseball in Renton, WA when the Renton skatepark was finished. He went over to check out what they built, and decided he needed to get back on his board. He couldn't believe he could skate a skatepark for free, because all the other parks were private parks that he skated before. This lit a fire in Dan that hasn't ever gone out. Traveling to new skateparks has been a passion of his ever since. So much so that he has documented each park he goes to on his website (northwestskater.com) as way to give back (in a small way) to skateboarding. In hopes that it helps others looking for places to skate.

At 62 years old Dan is still out there rolling around and getting air! When Dan is not skating or planning for his next skate trip he works as an HVAC tech for a school district in Utah.
