J.B. needs a change of scenery. “It’s time to head down to the
beach,” says the Salt Lake City native who’s lived in D.C. for

fondness for renovating houses, so who can blame him?
Road trip, anyone? >>

Do you have a significant or insignificant
other or others?
I’m very single right now.
What would you change
about today’s club scene?
I’d like to have more exclusively gay clubs. This
business of straight clubs being gay one night
a week annoys me.
Boxers, briefs or other?
Usually I’m a briefs sorta guy.
Boxers only to sleep in.
