Jess Thomas - President, moved his family to very rural Old Agoura forty years ago into a tiny ranchette heated by a woodstove.  Its original nine acres had been sold off, but it has come back to life in the hands of Jess and his wife Toni.  Beneath Jess’ gentle demeanor lies a career as a professional international motorcycle racer, earning the world land speed record of 214 mph in 1958 -a record which stands to this day!
