Hi, I am Soms

I grow coffee,
I ride skateboards,
I show up for my people.

Three things have shaped my life — the soil under my coffee trees, the scrape of grip tape under my feet, and the neighbors who showed up when nobody else did. This little corner of the web is where those three lives meet.

A little about me

I was born in a small town surrounded by hills. My family has worked the land for as long as anyone can remember, and I'm the first one to plant coffee on it — naturally, slowly, with shade trees and patience.

When I'm not on the farm, you'll find me at the local skatepark. Skating taught me to fall down, get up, and not take myself too seriously. It also gave me a community that became family.

The rest of my time goes to volunteering — mentoring kids, organizing clean-ups, and running free skate clinics for anyone who wants to try. Everything I do, I try to do with my hands and with heart.
