  • 063 Alex Romero, Skateboarder and Optometrist to Skateboarding Superstars, and to me too...

    I met Alex at the Vans HB Skatepark with my friend Chuck Walstead. Alex was just another one of us skaters, and my friend Chuck said, he's my Optometrist too... I immediately said I am coming to you. I prefer to do business with skaters whenever I can. After going to Alex, I was stoked knowing I had someone who cared about my eyes and my world.

    So turns out his clients include skaters Eddie Elguera, Scott Hostert, Christian Hosoi and Pops Hosoi, Mike McGill, Eric Dressen, Chuck Walstead, Dennis Martinez, Darren Ho, Nick Rosenthal, Cholo from Scum Skates, Steve Caballero, SkateMaster Tate and Mark Waters (RIP, Two Rad Skaters both gone too soon), Christian Jacobs (of Yo Gabba Gabba and Aquabats fame), Parker Jacobs, Billy Zoom and so many more.... Turns out this skater is taking care of the eyes of many of us.

    So, we chat about life, what takes a guy from skateboarding to Optometry School, and what skateboarding means to him and how it has and does influence his daily life. One look around his office and you'll see.... The stairway going up to his office is lined with skateboard decks and pictures with his awesome clientele.

    It was awesome doing this podcast with him, because I really have always wanted my podcast to be converstations with people I've met throughout skateboarding, not just pro's or people from the industry but just interesting people with different stories. I hope you enjoy, and if you need some new glasses or contacts, hit up Orange Circle Optometry in Orange, CA...
