In 2007, Ellington and fellow professional skaters Andrew Reynolds and Greco established Bakerboys Distribution as an umbrella company for four skateboard companies-Baker Skateboards, Deathwish, Brigada sunglasses, Heroin, and Shake Junt (created by Shane Heyl) [REF].
As part of a "Day in the life" feature by Transworld Skateboarding magazine, Ellington provided a tour of the company's headquarters in early 2011, stating that "Now days me and Jim sign every dollar that leaves this building .. didn't used to do that."
