Bio
The ‘front man’ of the gang. Tyler has been working with tools and skate ramps since Dave Grohl first joined the band Nirvana (that’d be the 90s for all you youngins). Not only can he hold a hammer, his knowledge of business, marketing and economics are no match for the competition. Tyler first became an entrepreneur when the original ramps were sold from a beach house in good ole Huntington Beach, California. To get the innovative flow of ideas going, he continually goes surfing and calls it “board” meetings…in the water.

Sandra has had a strong urge in her life to have everything crossed off a “to-do list” the minute she writes it down. It was only logical for her to take over the front office duties at OC RAMPS when she married the extremely good looking, talented and intelligent owner. With her vast background is in corporate meetings and events, labeled as the “party planner,” she always loves to incorporate fun events for OC RAMPS. Who doesn’t enjoy live music, riding half pipes and a BBQ on a summer’s day with 200 of your closest friends?
