Stevie Williams

Stevie Williams, born on 17 December 1979, is an American professional skateboarder who was included in twenty-seventh position on the 30 Most Influential Skaters of All Time list compiled by TransWorld Skateboarding in late 2011. He grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and started skateboarding at eleven, during the period when the term dirty ghetto kids first emerged as a title applied to him and his friends. At fourteen he left Philadelphia to hitchhike to California. The English Wikipedia article about him also covers his professional career, which this entry leaves to the article rather than restating.
