Holly has been skateboarding and snowboarding competitively for over 10 years. She is a World Cup Women's Bowl Rider and 5 times X Games athlete.

She grew up in Walnut Creek, Ca. and graduated from the University of Santa Cruz with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Business Economics.

After she graduated Holly moved to Tahoe to snowboard. She also produced, directed, and organized amateur skateboard contests. She helped raise $150,000 that was the foundation for the first permanent skate park in the area. She said, "It felt great able to make a difference in my town."

After snowboarding, competing, and traveling for many years, Holly wanted to concentrate on skateboarding more, so she moved to Encinitas where it's summer all year long.

In 2003, she was asked to be a part of the first and only female vert demo at the Gravity Games. She was also invited to compete in the first ever female vert contest at X Games lX in 2003. Holly has also competed in the summer X Games in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007.

In 2005, Holly was given her own Signature Shoe with Power Shoes. She decided to immortalize her Chihuahua, Rerun by making him the icon for her shoe.

Holly has worked as a skateboard stunt double on "Hannah Montana", "That's So Raven", and for Haylie Duff in the feature film "Dishdogz." Holly has also been a co-host on a pilot TV show called "The Cage" and many episode of "GKA" for Fuel TV.

In 2006, Holly was given her own Pro Model Skateboard with Cool Girl Decks, which is the top selling board for the company. Holly is one of a select few females in skateboarding to have both a signature shoe and a pro model skateboard.

In spring 2006, Holly was one of a handful of professional female skateboarders who were invited to be a castee for the first ever 100% Keep-A-Breast Art Show and Auction to raise money and awareness for breast cancer.

Holly also has an "Ask A Pro" page for Cool Girl Skateboards where she answers questions from girls around the world about skating, etiquette, boys and more. Holly loves being able to help others and has said many times that, "Inspiring each other is what it's all about!"

In 2007, she started her own clothing company called, Sk8Grl. She saw a need for girls to have their own identity and place in skateboarding. Holly feels like skateboarding is a love of her's and has given her so much, so this is a way she can give back to skateboarding and to the girls that love it too. She plans on making it a very interactive site where girls can meet eachother, post their events, and more.
