# Brandon DesJarlais > Founder of Beyond The Board 🛹🚌 I’m a professional skateboarder, community architect, and experiential designer with over a decade of experience creating meaningful gatherings that bring people together. As the founder of Beyond the Board, a nationwide non-profit, I’ve hosted hundreds of events across 25+ states on our annual tours. I’ve also built Vibe Ride, a vibrant skate community in LA that thrives on purpose-driven gatherings. With 600k+ followers and 150M+ views on social media, I’ve learned what makes events truly engaging—both in-person and online. My passion is helping community organizers, especially those leading movement-based groups like skate clubs, fitness groups, and run clubs amplify their impact. I believe that real-life connections foster deeper understanding and joy in a world that often feels dismal and divided. Inspired by Priya Parker’s “The Art of Gathering,” I focus on starting with a clear intention to ensure every event leaves participants feeling seen, heard, and energized. ## Offerings - Video call (15 min): $20.00 ## Links - [Expert profile](/BrandonDesJarlais) - [Avatar](https://media.intro.co/avatars/1022839djF9uSPV.jpg) - [Marketplace](/marketplace)
