A household name unknown by few, the legend humbly resides in his
hometown of Santa Cruz, CA. When not doing parkour or
terrorizing the locals, he can be spotted studying for his general ed
classes at Cabrillo College. In a recent interview, Mr. Blumeneau is
quoted as saying, "I am partaking in the community college system before
I make the big jump to UC Santa Barbara, where I'll most likely indulge
myself in the Film and Media Studies program." An avid photographer,
Shona (AKA Indiana Shones), has had his work published in "Cream"
magazine (Australia) and was recently awarded an honorable mention and
placed in the top 100 photos of Photographers Forum's 2012 best of high
school and college photographs. A friend to many and a mentor to few,
Shona gives back to the community by coaching youth soccer teams in the spring and fall. He is currently writing a screenplay about a Russian
mobster who joins the Jamaican national ballet and yes, it's going very
well. Fun fact: It is a popular belief that Shona knows more about
soccer than Ry Basham Mintz. He has also been mistaken for Ryan Gosling
on many occasions.
