Bakerboys Distribution was founded in 2007 by professional skateboarders Jim Greco, Andrew Reynolds, and Erik Ellington. The company began by renting a small studio in Hollywood to launch their sunglass company, Brigada. As plans to start Deathwish Skateboards came together, they moved to a larger warehouse in North Hollywood. Bakerboys Distribution officially began distributing both Baker Skateboards and Deathwish Skateboards after Reynolds' departure from Blitz Distribution in 2011. In late 2008, Shake Junt, a skate brand created by Shane Heyl, was added to the line-up. The founders emphasized the importance of maintaining long-term relationships with their team members, and their goal was to provide jobs to their friends. Bakerboys continues to grow and support skateboarding culture.
