About: Writing an introduction for one’s self isn’t really an easy task. You try to think about things to say, but everything sounds cocky and conceited. Then I start to think… this is Gear Patrol after all, so how would I review myself?
Well, it’s safe to say I’m a big enthusiast of all things “gear” related. You can expect no shortage of posts covering a large range. It’s safe to say I lean on the sarcastic side and sometimes my humor might be out there, but that’s just what I do. (Ed: sarcastic writers at GP? surely you jest…) Whether it’s playing video games, paintball, working on cars, I like to immerse myself in all types of things. I consider myself a jack of all trade, a master of some and adventurous enough to try most things once.
Career wise I’m a Systems Administrator and served in the Air Force for 8 years - having spent time in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and South Korea.
I am originally from the Republic of Panama where I was born and raised, but spent some time residing in the states as my father was in the military and on the go. I currently live in Fort Walton Beach, which is a laid back spot with white sandy beaches and emerald green water. Don’t be jealous.
What does this mean to you: Plenty of rhetoric describing your soon to be favorite gear. Grab a brew, because I’m sure I’ll be having one, and let the reviews roll…

When it comes to buying a pair of sneakers, I’m on a mission. I probably own far more than I need, but rocking the same pair everyday isn’t my thing and as a Gear Patrol reader I’m sure it’s not yours either. As I’ve grown older and become a little more refined (ha), my tastes have changed a bit. I have accumulated a sense of style, but still yearn to be my own man. I used to rock the bulky skater shoes because… well… I skated. That and normal sneaks just couldn’t handle the wear and tear that comes from clearing a gap or 5-0’ing the ledge across town.
The skater in me still wants the skater shoe, but without the all the bulk and a little more style. After all my searching I can say SUPRA footwear was exactly what I had in mind. The slick styling of uber kicks and the durability of a skate shoe. With features like premium leather, high memory polyurethane insoles and injected SupraFoam, how can you go wrong?
I opted for a pair of Vaiders and when staring down my collection of shoes for a chill night out, I go for these almost every time. Not only are they styling and attention garnering, they’re comfortable.
Whether you’re looking for a High-top, Low-top, Slip-on, andor Funky ass colors, SUPRA’s the brand for you.
