Weird trivia

• Worked as a clown and a "Teenage Nijia Turtle" during my college days.
• Help produced a CD of when I was in my "punk-rockandroll-ska" days,as the bass player/backing vocalist with a band called FRAMETHREETHRTEEN. The CD was called "Daily Plaza".
• Met Lawrance Welk (The bubble making in the background/band leader) at his resort in California when I was 9 years old

In my "geek" life, I am a Software Engineer with 7+ years of professional experience. I am proficient in C, C++, Java, J2EE, Perl, and shell scripting. I also have experience in software/hardware integration and system administration on various UNIX flavors and Windows NT platforms.

When I am not "geeking" I love to hang out with my buddies, making my own beers, run a few miles at day, watch (San Diego Chargers) football and/or (Liverpool F.C./Chivas de Guadalajara/Team U.S.A.) soccer. At the moment I am finally getting back into playing the guitar/bass after a very long lay-off, and attempting to write songs for a personal album. A project that I always wanted to do!

FAQ

Q: Who is/was Jogee da Klown?
A: Believe it or not it was my clown name that I went by. Back in a previous life, I was a professional clown where I performed the children's birthday parties/corporate picnics circuit around San Diego, Los Angeles and San Fransisco for several years. Today it is just a nickname.

Q: What does Jogee mean?
A: It was nickname my sister made up for me. I guess the story was when my sister was a child, somehow she couldn't say my name, Jose. Everytime she said my name, it always came out as "Jogee". The name stuck.

Q: How do you pronouce "Jogee"?
A: It is pronouced JOE-gee. Accent on the first syllable. Not JOG-ee or JUG-ee or HOE-hee.
