Steven Anthony Coleman, also known as "Tazz" or "T-Devil" (Born Janurary 2, 1989 in Lancaster, California), is an African-American junior amateur skateboarder.

Coleman began skating in November of 2007, and entered his first competition in July of 2008. A frequent participant in the local Reseda skatepark games, Pedlow, he has won four acheivements (three gold, one bronze) in the Street Skewer Tour, Grind Session, Speed Run, and Best Trick categories. He has also been victorious on the Dew Tour and in the Gravity Games. He was also the winner of the street division of the Duarte Skatepark Urban Cup, a highly advertised skateboarding cup put on by the Covina City Family with a wide array of technichal spin tricks and grinds including a nollie frontside 360 shuvit, fakie frontside callaberial and full cab spin switch-revert. The Duarte Skatepark Urban Cup boasted a total prize purse of over $2,000 making it the highest paying contest in Covina City history so far.

Gagnon is 5 feet 9 inches (167 cm) tall and weighs 162 pounds (67.8 kg). He is sponsored by Darkstar Skateboards/ Wheels, Duarte Skatepark, and Boom-tastic Apparel. He now lives in Tarzana, California.

Among other things, "Tazz", dawned with such an alias due to his specialization in technical spin tricks, has been noted to have an affiliation with a small-time city skate crew known as "SDS", Social Disorder Skaters. He remains loyal to the group, as they were the first he had been with when his hobby opened and developed into a career. Well on his way to soon becoming amateur, he plans to establish a full-time career as a professional, no matter what it takes.
