I met with Chris Kiernan of MOR Skateboards. MOR Skateboards is a local skate brand. Chris and I talk about his skateboard design process, his inspiration for decks designs, and his style (or lack there of). Chris and MOR will be contributing to the Ogden Arts Fest Urban Arts area this year!

A special episode in which I interview supporters of the Ogden Arts Festival's parent organization, Nurture the Creative Mind.
