Jay has been creating videos since he was 10 years old when he first discovered that his mother’s digital photo camera had a video function. He began a career in YouTube at the age of 12, where he eventually directed his focus towards the topic of skateboarding. Although his dedication towards the creation of YouTube videos has subsided, he still managed to acquire over 9,000 subscribers and over 2.5 million video views. Two of his videos were used on MTV’s “Ridiculousness” and one other was used on Nickelodeon’s “Crashletes.”
