Today we’d like to introduce you to Amos A Gregory Jr.
Hi Amos A, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I was born in Houston, Texas during the 80s. Growing up in a large city, I developed a sense of independence and a desire to make my own path. The traditional education system didn’t quite fit my ambitions, and I made the difficult decision to drop out of highschool. Seeking a chance to serve my country I enlisted in the United States Air Force the next summer. The discipline and skills I gained during my time in the Air Force opened my eyes to new possibilities. After serving 2 terms, living a little and growing a lot I started my own business fueled by a desire to create something unique and impactful.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Life hasn’t been a smooth road but it certainly hasn’t been dull either. After leaving the Air Force, I found myself grappling with depression and anxiety. The were days when getting out of bed seemed impossible and the weight of my dreams too much altogether. I spent years feeling lost and uncertain about the future. It was during these dark times that my faith became my anchor. My faith gave me the strength to keep pushing forward even when the road ahead seemed difficult.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I’m the owner of a skateshop and I specialize in unique deck designs. I’m most proud of my hand painted decks. This is what sets Sinkhole 42 apart. We also print awesome designs but painting the decks by hand is fun.
Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
My advice for those just starting out is to stay humble, stay patient and don’t give up.
