Jay-Paul Thibault has several hobbies; his primary interests involve glass blowing, long-distance cycling, kite surfing, woodworking, and volunteering for the Democratic Party.

Jay-Paul Thibault started blowing glass back in 2001 at Janke Studios in Atlanta, GA. Jay-Paul took long breaks in between sessions due to the demands of running a business.
Although his training has progressed slowly, he has improved over the years to the point where he can make elegant vases and plates and the occasional wine glass. His focus so far has been on blown glass, but he will soon be moving into the area of cast glass and maybe working with his sister on fused glass artwork. He says that he enjoys this art form because it allows him to combine several things: it allows him to express his artistic side while requiring technical knowledge about the materials, mixed in with the excitement of working with molten glass that gets as hot as 2,150 degrees F. |

Jay-Paul Thibault enjoys cycling not so much for the sake of cycling as it is the experience of traveling and meeting people.
Although he has raced before, participated in triathlons, and bicycled 30 to 100 miles a day (on one day even exceeding 220 miles), he enjoys being on the road for extended periods, camping out, and seeing a new place every day.
This has allowed him to be very flexible when traveling and comfortable with whatever accommodations are available. |

He first started kite surfing in 2002, and although he has not done it nearly as much as he would like, he occasionally gets out and heads to the local areas. |
