Tony Hawk
CHAIRHis long history and success as a professional skateboarder helped Tony pursue a career with worldwide reach. In 1992, he founded the renowned Birdhouse Skateboards brand, which he still owns and operates today.
The most recognized action-sports figure in the world, Tony is also President of Tony Hawk Inc., a worldwide leader in action-sports video games, merchandising, events, endorsements, and film and digital media. He regularly appears on television and in films, co-hosts the Hawk vs. Wolf Podcast, and frequently takes his talent on the road with the Birdhouse Skateboards team. Tony’s success and good fortune have inspired him to do what he can to help young people, so in 2002, he launched the Tony Hawk Foundation (which in 2020 became The Skatepark Project) to help achieve that goal.
