J.B. Hopkins grew up along the muddy brown beaches of the Texas coast.<br>He was a mediocre surfer and skater, Atari 2600 owner, and firmly believes that 80s music is the best.<br><br>J.B. likes to travel, snap pictures, design covers, and scribble down words when he's not hanging out with his family and their two dogs: a sneaky Westie named Lulu; and a pure-of-heart, loyal, yet incredibly unintelligent Cockapoo he calls Bear.
