Since our son was 3 he was into fishing and the outdoors. Give him a stick, a brick, and a
piece of rope and he could play for hours. He was [and still is] a Bear Grylls fanatic. So,
whenever he was playing outside, pretending to be Bear Grylls or in the army, he always had
his counterpart Johnny Hexburg with him.
His army man was named Johnny Hexburg. His rock band was named Johnny Hexburg, everything was Johnny Hexburg.
When we asked him where he got the name from, he answered “I made it up”
This is how Johnny Hexburg became a household name to us and this was the inspiration for
the name.
