DECK & WHEEL - FOUNDER
AUGUSTO AUSTIN OCHOA was born on July 20, 2012. When he was 3 years old, he lost his dad over cancer. Everything he does is to make his dad proud as he constantly mentions. At a short age he showed interest in business and started a lemonade stand outside his house and skatepark. He also grew an interest in buying / selling Bitcoin. Augusto followed his older brother Diego Rosas skateboarding steps wanting to learn more, and asked Diego to show him some skills. Augusto was then introduced to a family friend Shadi Charbel who owns Deza a skateboarding company. He was passionate about the artwork and techniques inspiring him to start his own brand Deck and Wheels. He is now importing decks from México City into The United States. He currently distributes 3 different deck brands from Mexico to skate shops in Los Angeles. Today Augusto is having his 1st of many deck exhibitions.
