The white stuff

With an Olympic gold, and a record medal count at the Winter X Games competition, plus endless titles and achievements under his belt this 23 year old is rockin’ the show. Shaun has been riding, progressing and having fun skating and snowboarding since he could practically walk.

Shaun was born on Sept. 3, 1986, in San Diego, CA where he grew up in a family of five: His older brother Jesse was the catalyst for the drive to ride, as the younger brother, anything Jesse did-Shaun just had to do. At 6 years old Shaun was already on the slopes of June Mtn shredding with the family.

The rest is history. Shaun was a natural on the snow. He progressed at an amazing rate. And it didn't take long for him to get noticed - because who could miss the littlest kid on the hill?

Shaun has made waves in the burgeoning sport of snowboarding for over 17 years. As the sport grew, so did Shaun resulting in cult celebrity status all over the globe.
