I don't know what to say. It still feels unreal. This past weekend I won the World Stone Skimming Championship! Thank you to everyone that took videos for me and to everyone who has sent me videos and photos. I'll try and post everything.

Special thanks goes to my amazing wife for always supporting me in all my crazy endeavors, my kids and rest of my family for always believing I can do anything, my mom for teaching me to skip stones, all my friends for always having my back, & for all your help in Scotland, and my team The Kracken Crew , and Dana for skipping stone with me all over the world.

A big shout out to for everything you have done and to for helping people know I'm from Kentucky. This is such an honor and can't wait to go back defend my title next year.

Meet the Pros! It's me, . Not only will I be at the Kentucky Stone Skipping Invitational presented by , but this is my brain child. This contest has developed from my love of stone skipping and the outdoors. I hope you all are able to make it out and enjoy the event. If you don't make it this year, first Saturday in June, for the foreseeable future, I'll be right here on the bank of Lake Shelby skipping stones with my family and friends and whoever else wants to join us. I hope you can make it sometime in the future.

What is your name/nickname? Jon / The Green Giant

Where are you from? Graefenburg, KY
How old are you? 37

How long have you been skipping stones? All my life, but 4 years professionally.

Did you play any sports growing up that you feel help with stone skipping? No, I just played in the creeks all day. My uncle says that settings skipping made me a natural at golf. The swing of a club is a very similar motion to the throw of a stone.

What is your highest personal and official skipping count/distance? My highest official count is 82 skips (I think it was more in the 60s), and I threw 356 feet in a distance contest one time. My personal best, I would say, is in the low 70s, but all my best always hit something like a bank or a branch.  So, I always feel like they had more juice left.

How did you hear about competitive stone skipping? I saw a paper flyer for the Great Southern Stone Skipping Championship while visiting my grandfather's hometown.

What are your biggest accomplishments in stone skipping? I asked this question so I could let people brag about their achievements. Contests they've won, places they've traveled, things like that. To be quite honest, I was excited to brag as well. As I set here by the lake thinking about the friends I'm going to see today and the friends I will be missing. I believe the community and friendships I have gained through the wonderful sport of competitive stone skipping are personally my biggest accomplishments.

It was watching women compete at Mackinaw and Franklin last year that really inspired me, and who originally coached me with tips. Representation is huge, and I would love to be able to be that beacon for others and inspire them to join in on the silly fun.

How old are you? 31

How long have you been skipping stones? I grew up skipping rocks at the beach every once in a while, but I’ve been skipping stones more consistently and going to competitions for 3-4 years.

Did you play any sports growing up that you feel help with stone skipping? Growing up, I played baseball and was a pitcher, and that definitely helped develop my throwing skills.

What is your highest personal and official skipping count/distance? It’s hard to say exactly what my personal bests are, but I know I’ve thrown at least 330 feet and 50+ skips. My best in competition is 38 skips.

How did you hear about competitive stone skipping? I learned about competitive stone skipping during the pandemic while watching videos on YouTube and watching Skips Stones for Fudge. I watched a lot of YouTube videos about Kurt Steiner and other skippers in an attempt to improve my own skipping.

What are your biggest accomplishments in stone skipping? One of my favorite stone skipping memories is my first ever competitive skip. I started as an amateur in Franklin, and my very first skip was a 33, meaning I qualified to go pro. My one goal for my first competition was to go pro, so I felt like all the practice had paid off.
