My name is Walker Ryan and I'm from St. Helena, a small town in California's Napa Valley. I currently live on Martha’s Vineyard, MA with my wife and son. I graduated from UC San Diego in 2012 with a Bachelor of Art's Degree in Sociology. I turned pro in 2011 and have spent the majority of my career traveling and working on various video and magazine projects. I have written three skate-centric novels: Top of Mason (2020), Off Clark (2022) and High Street Lows (2025). In collaboration with Dr. Kyle Brown, I produce physical therapy and fitness videos and podcasts geared toward treating the most common skateboarding-related injuries.
