The Loud One.
Fred rode for Alva in the 1980s. The word straight from the mouth of Tony Alva is that he never actually turned pro, yet had a board with his name on it that outsold a number of other pro's models. After Alva changed to New School, Fred was still on the team. It looks like he is hooked up with Bill Danforth's American Nomad these days. Fred is currently a tattoo artist at American Tattoo in Newport, Rhode Island. I believe he was in one of Thrasher's King Of The Road tour videos. He is also playing bass in a band called The Loud Ones.

Yes, Fred did own Skate Hut. I know he is from Mass., but I don't know anything beyond that.
Good luck on the website. Send me a link once you've got something.

Cool. I'll add you to the links in day or two.
Does anyone know what wheels he rode?
His is from North Dighton Massachusetts. I grew up down the street from him. We'd be riding around on our bmx's and see him flying high on his backyard halfpipe.
He lived to the right or left of 758 Spring St. North Dighton, MA
