Erik Ellington

Erik Ellington is an American professional skateboarder, born on 9 August 1977 and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, who moved to Tempe, Arizona, in his teens. In 2007 he established Bakerboys Distribution with Andrew Reynolds and Jim Greco, a company that provides distribution for closely related skateboard companies, and in 2008 he co-founded Deathwish Skateboards with Greco. In an episode of Vice Media's Epicly Later'd he described a childhood of frequent moves between Alaska and the lower states, with a stepfather who ran a body shop for cars, and the long summer daylight of Anchorage. The article records no competition results or team affiliations, so those facts are left open rather than guessed.
