I am going skateboarding today

In this episode, we catch up with Phil Burcher. Phil is the owner of Precision Skateboards, a legendary local Nebraska skate shop in Lincoln, Nebraska. Born in Brooklyn NY and growing up as a military brat, Phil was introduced to skateboarding and surfing the second time his family lived in Hawaii in 1974 and has yet to understand what “not-skateboarding” means. His life revolves around skateboarding and skateboarding culture, and he has skated hundreds of ramps and skateparks around the country. After graduating Colorado State University with a degree in marketing, he joined forces with Scott Bouwens, who founded Precision Skateboards in February of 1984, to grow the business and to support the skateboarding community in Nebraska. As the owner of Precision Skateboards, one of the oldest skate shops in the country, he has hosted many contests and pro skate demos for over 35 years in the Lincoln and Omaha area. Busy sharing time raising two skateboarding teenage boys with his wife Tara, who also owns her own business, Phil continues to strive to make our community a better place to live!
