Skateboarding

Whiteley was a video filmer during high school and college.[6] He worked for 411, Think, Real, Stereo, Thrasher, Santa Cruz, and other companies.[6] Working in the Northern California skateboarding industry, Whiteley got to know a good deal of skaters and others through being out skating and filming.[6][7]

Slap Magazine

Lance Dawes, the original editor of SLAP, was looking for an assistant-type editor when Phil Shao and Paul Zuanich recommended Whiteley to Dawes.[6] After a positive meeting with Fausto Vitello, Whiteley started working at Slap Magazine on August 10, 1998 as managing editor.[6] One year after Whiteley began working at Slap, Lance Dawes moved down to Los Angeles and Whiteley was handed the editor-in-chief reigns.[6]

Photography

Whiteley conducted a series of interviews focused around skateboarding and photography.[1] The interview series titled Rolling Through the Shadows was sponsored by Leica Camera.[1]
