With a 10 year career as a professional skateboarder, garold has seen the country, made a ton of friends, and smiled a lot.  BUT, there is so much more to this Detroit, Michigan native.  Over the last 2 years, he has been involved in the creation of a Television Pilot, UNDERGROUND Vallie as well as UNDERGROUND Vallie radio ( www.blogtalkradio.com/garoldvallie ) 
He is also a partner as well as the host for The AGA Summer Skate Park Series ( www.aganation.com ) The AGA (Adrenaline Games Alliance ) is an extreme sports organization that is promoting extreme sports, the youth, and the Midwest.  Speaking at schools with the, AGA 'Bring Your A Game to School' program, garold is trying to reach as many people as possible with a positive message of following dreams, the importance of education, and never giving up on your goals.

The UNDERGROUND Vallie name is growing as well.  The Television pilot is currently being presented to networks and interested parties.  The show series would include interviews with known stars as well as some unknown persons.  The overall idea of UNDERGROUND Vallie is to cover stories of overcoming, following dreams, and never giving up.  The pilot featured Buster Douglas, Garret Morris, and Bill Danforth as well as some biographical information about garold.  With current television being all about shock and awe, UNDERGROUND Vallie is offering a true alternative.   UNDERGROUND Vallie radio is based on the same premise as the TV show.  garold has interviewed (or is scheduled to interview) Wealth Guru David Newby, 'From Glory Days' creater and host Kurt David, and punk rock Icon, Mike Ness.

garold continues to branch out and find new avenues to reach as many people as possible.  He is also the owner of PRPL HRT skateboards .  PRPL HRT is a true to life, working class, skater owned company.  The name pays homage to garold's grandfather, Elmer Vallie, who earned a Purple Heart medal in World War II.
