I have worked closely with John since 1997 in building a "state of the art" skate park for the YMCA of the Palm Beaches. During that time I've watched John excel in his creativity, as well as his unmatched work ethic. Even though the YMCA wanted to pursue this particular venture, no one on the staff or the board had experience to guide us through the various issues that owning a skate park would bring. However, John Woodstock had the necessary experience and talent to bring about a positive conclusion. I would without hesitation recommend John Woodstock to any organization considering the formation of a skate park, his skill and his word are his bond. Please feel free to call if I might be able to assist with any specific areas of his expertise. Sincerely, T.
