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! 

​

His amazing writing skills were polished when he was an editor at CYCLE MAGAZINE for many years in Westlake Village. Ziff-Davis publishing moved the Thomas family here from New York in 1972.
