Vincent onel, skatepark development
FAVORITE PARK: Ambassador Skate Plaza
After growing up in the Midwest, where skateparks were few and far between, Vincent moved to Los Angeles to attend the University of Southern California and pursue his passion for cutting-edge skateable landscapes. After receiving his Bachelor’s Degree from USC’s prestigious Marshall School of Business, he joined the Spohn Ranch family in early 2009.
For Vincent, the line between work and play is often a blurry one. In fact, it doesn’t feel like work at all when he is helping communities develop quality facilities similar to the ones where he made some of his best friends, developed vital social skills and gained the confidence that helped him blossom into a mature adult. He knows skateboarding inside and out and leverages this intimate knowledge to help the Spohn Ranch design team connect with local skate/BMX groups and translate their visions into safe and well-rounded skateparks.
