"he's probably the only person who was born in Indiana and became a pro." Eh, you might be too young but Jeff Kendall but he's an O.G. Santa Cruz pro from Indiana.
He didn't because he got injured right when they were gonna turn him pro... which delayed his pro status and made him unable to skate for months, it's rare to see someone utilize skate spots in such a creative and original way as he did/does, extremely underrated skateboarder.
it takes balls to pull hammers (respect) but it takes talent and creativity to skate normal objects with style and grace (see deawon song and justin strubing).

Out of anyone I've seen over the years, this guy deserved to go pro the most. Absolutely mind boggling that people can make it and this guy didn't.
