Raised in Vacaville, California, Janoski developed an early interest in skateboarding; from the age of 13. Janoski with his friends from the town would try the moves of skateboard professional Mike Carroll. As the place where he lived didn’t have much of a skateboarding craze, there were only about ten people that he used to skate with, either that or he would skate on an asphalt road on his own. After moving to Sacramento, Janoski devoted all his energy to skateboarding – his relaxed and casual demeanour when undertaking complex tricks made him gain popularity in the field.

Janoski was chosen as a team member for Asphalt Yacht Club that was launched in 2013, further displaying his skills, and all of these projects have definitely added well into Stefan’s net worth over the years.
