JB2 started surfing with tummy time in Willoughby Spit on the bay before he could walk. He developed a love for the water at a very young age and surfed his first Competition at 2 years old in the ECSC. JB2 loves competitive surfing and is shredding his way into his big dreams of surfing for the USA one day! You can usually find him at the VB jetty or his other favorite break at the Hatteras lighthouse in OBX.
JB2 started skateboarding when he was 6 and a half as a way to cross train for surfing and very quickly his progression secured him many first place podiums spots in 10 and under and in the Pro divisions! He loves skateboarding so much that he has decided that he wants to also pursue dreams of skating for the USA one day.
You can also find JB2 volunteering his time to help teach others to skate at the Coastal Edge Skate Camp prestented by John Fudala.
JB2’s skateboarding and surfing skills carried over when he first jumped on a snowboard this year and secured a spot as 5th in the country at USASA Nationals, his very first snowboarding season. JB2 loves snowboarding so much that he is also determined to ride for the USA in snowboarding one day. He wants to be the first big triple threat in all 3 sports!

It doesn't stop there!!! JB2 is in the gifted program at Cooke Elementary and is an honor roll student who won the "Citizenship Award"!! JB2 recently got to go to Norfolk Public Schools to help teach the Elementary students how to skateboard and he said this was “super cool”.
This Groms never ending Stoke fuels him to succeed in everything he puts his mind too!
Something personal to JB2 is his family, he surfs in dedication to his Big Sister who has Autism and is visually impaired. He is the best big brother to his 2 younger bro's Skylr and Jagger (who you will find beside him learning to shred) and he credits his success to his parents Jacob and Blair for pushing him, supporting him and exposing him to opportunities!
