My name is Joey Iaguessa and I am a skateboarder from Springfield, Missouri.

 

As a former youth instructor at Queen City Rock Camp teaching piano, I have seen firsthand how creative communities can inspire growth, confidence, and connection.

 

I have been skateboarding for over 15 years, and I am passionate about the power of skateboarding to transform lives. I believe that skateboarding builds not only self-perseverance but also deep, lasting friendships through shared challenges and support.

 

Now as part of YESS, I am excited to help create a safe, welcoming space where kids can explore new passions and discover the strength of community.
