Ryan’s mom, Gretchen, wears many hats in the Sheckler family. Not only is she the mother of three growing boys, but she’s also Ryan’s manager. Gretchen is a pro at juggling family life and running Ryan’s career. She often travels with Ryan to his various skateboarding events while maintaining his day-to-day schedule. Gretchen is the backbone of both her family and Ryan’s career. She’s got a lot on her plate!

When Gretchen is at home watching the kids, she’s “mom,” but when she’s out and about managing Ryan’s career, she’s “Gretchen.” These days, she’s constantly reminding Ryan that his career should come first in his life, so more and more she’s acting like “Gretchen.” It’s hard for Ryan to keep up with her sometimes!

The boys love hanging out with their mom … when she’s in “mom” mode, that is. In fact, Gretchen loves having Ryan’s friends over to skate in the backyard. She’s the coolest mom ever, and that’s why the boys love her!
