About

Pat Flynn grew up running around an old dairy farm in Queensland, before moving to Canberra to attend the Australian Institute of Sport on a tennis scholarship. After playing and coaching on the professional circuit he became a teacher, where his observations of young people - their interests and stories - led to him write a book about a teenage skateboarder called Alex Jackson. Alex Jackson is now a series that has received rave reviews.
