Matt Mumford

Matt Mumford, born on 6 April 1974, is an Australian professional skateboarder who was born in Brisbane, Queensland, and grew up in Rockhampton. He first gained attention when the photographer J Grant Brittain, who was on tour with Mike McGill, photographed him skateboarding in his local area. He travelled to the United States in 1993 to pursue a skateboarding career and was initially sponsored by McGill's Chapter 7 brand, later renamed Shaft, before moving to Invisible Skateboards. In 1996 the professional skateboarder Jamie Thomas asked him to join Zero Skateboards, which was then a new brand.
