Team Steez

Chieftain

Reppin Steez from the very beginning day in day out. I eat, sleep, drink, dream, live and love Steez.  Nuff said.

Danger’s the name. I am something of a guerilla street operative/professional coolguy. My duties include looking sketchy, being the man, trying to make out with your girlfriend and saying “dude” and “f#@%” a lot. I have a black belt in drinking. I like riding around on pieces of wood. Sometimes I’ll even tie my feet to the wood, or put wheels on it to keep things interesting. I also have delusions of grandeur, and occasionally work on a secret operation rumored to be some sort of 12 step program to total world domination, code named “SHRED CITY”.

Runnin’ New England like a marathon.

Snowboarding, wakeboarding, mountain biking, and gaming are my hobbies. Winter season is by far my favorite. I look forward to kickin it with the Steez crew, and visiting my boys via 603 Terrain Park at Mt. Sunapee. Park is killin it Brian, keep up the good work! I think it’s hilarious when people chew gum like their eating dinner. Even better if their mouth is open!
Keep it Steezy straight from Ez

Chris DeGrace
Photographer

I received my degree in professional photography from McIntosh College in Dover, NH where I currently live. I spend most of my free time either shooting photos, skateboarding, or snowboarding. My favorite thing about shooting skateboarding and snowboarding is having an idea in my head of how a trick or feature should look, and making a photo that really reflects what it was like to be there at that moment. www.MultiPurposePhotography.com.

Colby DeGrechie
Writer

What up I’m Colby DeGrechie and I’ve been working with Steez for a little over 2 years now. I mostly just write some little articles to bore everyone with each issue and help come up with some new ideas to keep things fresh. I’m stoked on Steez taking the east coast from a different angle. I’m currently gillin’ out west but I still got love for the east and it’s good to see the scene is still strong. Respect to everyone that has helped get Steez where it is and continues to push the mag. Bless up ‘n kill it.

Andrew Fersch is one of the editors of Steez, a gig he stumbled upon at a local watering hole thanks to a fortuitous meeting of Adam Sandler’s younger brother. He writes for several regional and national publications and has his own arts and entertainment website, www.alrightimwrong.com.

With an Associate’s Degree in Photography, Chris currently snowboards full time, in addition to attending the University of Alaska Anchorage pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism.

Basically I had a helping hand in the start of the mag and have been behind it since day one. I like to say that I am the guy that runs his mouth out the mag. Just trying to push the mag to grow 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year. Yeah I am that guy in your shop all the time. So look for me.

I sling mags to shops, sell apparel, set up rail jams, promote events, and give out stickers to worthy groms. You might see Tyrone Jibbins in your local terrain park grindin’, jibbin’, slappin’, bonkin’, scootin’, and bootin’. Tyrone can also be found campin’ out in the glades, slashin’ the fresh pow, or shovelin’ snow for street riding. Tyrone Jibbins loves nothin’ more than snowboardin’, grabbin’ a brew, and kickin’ it with the Steez Crew.
