On my travels across the country I was able to meet with Mark, the owner and founder of Pacific Tribe Skateboards. Mark is a handyman - someone who can figure out how to fix things and acquires new skills easily. He is a Youtube learner and passionate about his children. Those things led him to making a few longboards in the garage with his son. The craftsmanship and quality had begun to be recognized by the people who saw the boards. Soon people started to ask where they could purchase some of his boards.
