2026 Balboa Entrepreneurial Award
Congratulations Junior!
Big things start with a simple idea—and the courage to go after it.
We are proud to present the Balboa Entrepreneurial Award, inspired by Rocco’s work ethic, selflessness, and motivation.
This year’s recipient, Josett “Junior” Valladares, is the definition of that legacy in action.
From early mornings to long days, Junior built his own mobile detailing business from the ground up—servicing cars, trucks, vans, and even boats—showing up every time ready to deliver his absolute best.
What makes it even more powerful? It’s not just the business he’s built—it’s how he’s built it. With humility, discipline, respect, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
He’s not just creating a business… he’s creating opportunity, setting a standard, and leading by example.
We are so proud to recognize Junior as the first-ever recipient of this award—and we know this is only the beginning.
