RESIDES

Jackson Hole, WY
At age 11, Alex moved from Marin to Jackson Hole. Snowboarding became his life’s focus and he started attending summer school to free up his days for riding. An Alaskan trip at age 18 introduced him to bigger mountains and he never looked back. “I’ve been privileged throughout my travels to make new friends, ride with my heroes, and learn countless skills along the way.”

OJAS is the creative pen name of Devon Turnbull. As a university student studying Audio Engineering, he started using the name across a variety of disciplines including graffiti, music, graphic design, and clothing design. In 2003 Turnbull co-founded the clothing brand Nom de Guerre with Isa Saalabi, Wil Whitney, and Holly Harnsongkram. For the next decade, while primarily working in fashion, the name OJAS was kept alive on sound sculptures Turnbull was crafting for himself and a growing number of audio enthusiasts around the world. With a particular interest in high-efficiency speakers and low-powered tube amplifiers, Ojas audio equipment aims to bring realistic, natural sound to the listener. These products are the result of two decades of experimentation, engineering, and explorations in the audio underground.
