Oscar's Amplife® Story

I was born with a congenital birth defect that caused me to be missing my left foot, left hand, and four fingers on my right hand. As a child, I quickly adapted to my prosthesis and learned to write with both hands. During my high school years, I formed a skating team called VOID with my friends. I am now a skateboarding icon on my Venture Prosthetic Foot.

My positive spirit, determination, and talent make me a powerful force in both the limb loss and adaptive skate communities. I graduated from California State University Long Beach with a degree in Documentary Filmmaking, which I use to film, edit, and produce skating videos. Currently, I work for a Regional Sports & News network and have broken the mold for disabled individuals by working in the TV and film industry.

I'm a proud husband and father who continues to live out my pro skater dream by being part of a prestigious board of directors for organizations such as The Sheckler Foundation, Bridge To Skate, and Poseidon Foundation. My sponsors include Amplife®, College Park, etnies, Bones Wheels and Bearings, FP Insoles, 1Legacy Skateboards, Shove it Tacos and Stickerwallets.

Oscar's Signature Skateboard, "An Oscar Story" with Ryan Sheckler's Sandlot Times

As an icon in the adaptive skate world, Oscar's Signature Board, based off of "A Christmas Story" leg lamp, sold out almost immediately on Ryan Sheckler's brand, Sandlot Times. 50% of the proceeds benefited the Sheckler Foundation‘s Adaptive Skate Programming.
