Hello Honorable Members of Club Stogie,

I would like to introduce myself and family. I was born and raised in Southern California. I was brought into this world as the first born son to an unknown Martial Artist. I have studied the martial arts 27 of my 31 years and have been an instructor for over 15 years. Husband to a lovely wife of almost 2 years, Father to a 1 ˝ year old son (1st born child), and Slave to a game they call “GOLF,” as member of the Alhambra Men’s Golf Club.

When I am not golfing or spending time with my family, I work as a Human Resources Administrator for an IPA based in the San Gabriel Valley. I have been a Human Resources Professional for 10 years and worked as a Safety Officer, Recruiter, Employee Relations Specialist, Work Comp and Benefits Administrator within the private and public sector.

My volunteer profile consists of the likes of the Los Angeles Junior Chamber of Commerce, L.A. Open more commonly known as the Nissan Open as a security guard walking with golfers down the fairway…Lots of autographs!

If you asked a friend of mine about my demeanor, you would find out that I am the friend to call when you are in a jam according to my wife, sometimes more than I should. My wife would say I am too generous. I hold my family and friends in high regard and like to share what I have with those closest to me. I used to be an adrenaline freak! Sky Diving was a quarterly event in my life. I was introduced to cigars 10 years ago by an uncle of Cuban decent who married into the family. LUCKY ME! It has only been within the last 4 years that I have taken a liking to cigars on a more frequent basis.

Thank You for reading this far. I have enjoyed reading and participating on some of the threads. Special Thanks to poker and filly! These are two of the most gracious lovers of the leaf I have met.

Welcome to the Jungle!!!

I used to do some adrenline junkie stuff. Bungy jumping,
white water rafting, glacier climbing, white water jet boating,
etc., etc. My wife is glad I did all of that before I met
her. I have mellowed a bit. Still love muscle cars and
cigars.

For those who wanted to know...I have studied 5 arts, but I hold a black belt in the agressive style Limalama. This art is very similar to the Hawaiian art of Kenpo, Only it is the Samoan version. The art was taught during the reign of King Kamehameha who ruled over the Pacific Isles. Needless to say it has kept me out of trouble more than it has gotten me into trouble. :)

Keep 'em lit Gentlemen,

Jess
