Skateboarder turned COP
Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down...
While I set up a new skate deck, let me tell you how skateboarding has been a big part of my life and how I continue to skate even as an officer and give back to my community. #skateboarding

Awesome! I feel you sharing a little about yourself helps make you relatable to all. Keep doing what you do. I had a cool cop that checked on us when I was younger.
Back in 1987, some friends and I were skating at the bus depot in Kennewick, WA. I was probably 12 or 13 at the time. Officer Hohenberg, who went on to become the Chief and retire after 40 years of service, came to kick us out. He talked with us and we showed him some tricks. He was pretty stoked. I always thought to myself, Man someday I want to be a cool cop like that. I graduated high school, and college, then eventually went into the Air Force. All the while I kept skating. Once I finished my time in the Air Force I applied to my first department in a small town in Washington State. After 4 years I applied to be a federal police officer in Portland Oregon. I got the job. Moved a few blocks from the infamous Burnside skatepark and skated it every morning after the night shift. I follow you on the Gram but keep a low-key about what I do for a living. Here I am, 23 years on the job and still skating. 🤘 Keep on inspiring the kids out there. - Nate

Great Video Content on Skateboarding and Amazing Police Officer ever
This is so awesome I think you should bring your skateboard deck with you so if some Karen calls the police on some kids who are just not doing anything wrong and skateboarding you could come out there with your deck and do an Ollie or two with them and literally that would change their perspective on police because I’m sure as you know police officers and skateboarders don’t always have the best relationship and it’s only because people call the cops on us for skateboarding I’ve never just got stopped by a cop randomly for skateboarding it’s always been someone called on me for it some Mucho wanna be cop who is the security guard for some parking lot or something I really think that you could change a lot of lives in a lot of perspectives if you bring your skateboard with you on shift I really hope you see this comment
Good stuff!
Sick man! Keep it up.
I know this is weird but when I grow up I also want to be a cop since I was 4 now I'm 10 I know so many thing about cops I watch you videos at Monday and Thursday
Are you able to do a video on handcuffs please?
It’s cool seeing other cops that participate in action sports. Mine is more so Motocross and skiing but I skate sometimes too. I start academy in 2 weeks and I think I’m going to at least tone down the riding a little. Going to make academy my main focus for 6 months. I’ll still ride every other weekend instead of every weekend, but also just tracks I’m particularly good at and know I won’t risk getting hurt at. Was going to do some racing this summer but since this all worked out, I’ll just race next year when I’m an LEO
That's awesome!! you only live once!!! don't hold yourself back since all the money you make from work won't buy you the time since you will get old soon and will not use all the abilities GOD gave you to be a good skateboarder!! YOU sound happy just talking about it and you look amazing doing those tricks!!!
Can you do a video on background investigation?
I bet you upload a couple skating videos to your MySpace account
