John Quigley is:
a Self Taught / Jack Of All Trades.
At heart I'm a Skateboarder, Snowboarder, Surfer. In reality I'm a Father, Husband, Businessman, Designer, Photographer... a Self Taught / Jack Of All Trades.

I discovered Skateboarding in 1984. It became my passion and primary interest and led me to snowboarding in 1986. Snowboarding led me West to discover bigger mountains, deeper snow, new friends and experiences. While living in Oregon in 1994 I helped create, develop and launch Spry Snowboards, wearing many hats as Team/Marketing/Brand Manager and Product developer. After disappointing results in a crowded industry, I returned to Maine in the spring of 1996. There I discovered my love for photography with Seth Wescott and friends at Sugarloaf USA. The winter of 1996/97 I was hired as head freestyle snowboard coach at Carrabassett Valley Academy, where I traveled to national competitions with a team of amateur snowboarders all the while furthering my photography experience. I spent the following years traveling as a freelance photographer specializing in Action and Lifestyle photography. As the internet evolved, I found the need to take my photography online, so I bought a Mac, software, a few books and built my first website. With that first website I discovered my love for design, technology, the internet, digital photography... hence I embraced the digital era which has led me to where I am today.
