Industrial Profile

Life has a funny way of laying the groundwork for where you’ll end up down the line.  Take Black Box General Manager Chad Foreman for example.  Rocking a neon green Metallica hat he won from the fair, 14-year-old Foreman strolled into ths local skate shop in Alabama to buy his first deck, a Zorlac Mega Metallica. As he looked for the deck to match the hat, he met Jamie Thomas (who worked at the shop) and they’ve been friends ever since.
