We had the good fortune of connecting with Augusto Ochoa and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Augusto, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
The social impact is the most important element in our community.
Helps people get involved in skateboarding, and more outdoor sports that gives them the opportunity to socialize and build friendships.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What sets me apart from others is my age. I am most exited about a new upcoming event we are planning. I got here because of my family and mom because they supported me throughout this journey,

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would eat at Raising Canes and I would drink lemonade, I would visit my family and I would hang out at Dave and Busters.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My mom, my family for supporting and doing all the hard work. Pilar and Juan from Cuarto Central for letting have events in their studio, taking the pictures for our opening exhibit. Karla Rios for her incondicional support and hard work in our social media platform and Shadi for thrusting us with his brand.
