Team:

President & Creative Director: Matthew Freyer returned to his skateboarding roots after a long break and was quickly reminded of how mentally and physically healthy and educational a daily routine of skateboarding can become. An artist, business owner, and skateboarder, Matthew, now strives to make skateboarding more accessible to Marylanders by creating CITADEL SKATEBOARDING FOUNDATION and it’s sub-organizations. With his extensive background in branding and marketing, Matthew designs, creates and executes all visual elements for our organizations.

Entertainment & Events Director: Tila Assgari helped to found CITADEL SKATEBOARDING FOUNDATION after finding that her passion for computer-aided designing and hand-building sculptural forms could translate from artistic pieces to large functional skateboard environments. As a craftsman and artist, Tila brings a unique skill set to the team. Tila graduated from Maryland Institute College of Art after studying Interdisciplinary Sculpture, specializing in Material Manipulation and Digital Fabrication. When CITADEL SKATEBOARDING is not overseeing active builds, Tila uses her extensive experience in Event Planning to manage the daily requirements for CITADEL and its subsidiaries as our Events Director.
