June 2007 - People call me Skipper because I believe the world will be a much happier place when skipping becomes a more acceptable thing for adults to do.

It breaks my heart that the majority of people in “the land of the free and the home of the brave” can't let go of worrying about what others might think of them enough to skip joyfully down the street. So I've dedicated my life to helping rewrite the unspoken rule that says “adults don't skip.” I have been promoting skipping since 1999. 

I have skipped on the mountaintop of an amazing amount of national media exposure and I have skipped through the valley of shattered dreams and financial ruin…I am currently working as a publicist at an amazing publishing company called New World Library and am scaling the wall of writing my own book. What a long strange skip it continues to be.

These days my own skipping has become a lot more sacred and less public. I'm not sure what comes next for the “skipping movement” but I still love to imagine how the world would change if every town in the world had even one inspired skipper…Someone who skips with the clear intention of doing their part to make the world a little bit happier.
