ABOUT US

JEFFREY B.

A beach enthusiast and former math teacher, Jeff seized the opportunity to move from the classroom to the beach. The result of this bold move is summers spent on the beach with Paddle TC, and an off-season full of traveling across the United States with family and friends.

Growing up in a beachfront town, he loves to swim and spend time playing beach volleyball.

As a high school junior he jumped at the opportunity to work on the beach for a local jet ski rental eventually working his way into a management role. His passion for boating grew through his college years as he became an avid wakeboarder. Jeff then spent several years working with families and children as a local math teacher.

This background lends itself well to the customer service Jeff provides Paddle TC customers, as he can frequently be seen opening up the booth as the morning sun rises, with a smile on his face and his toes in the sand!

He seeks adventure and loves to challenge himself everyday. Family, friends and a healthy lifestyle are the things he holds dear. His personal philosophy: “Treat others as you want to be treated, respect all things”.
