Greetings all! Welcome to the little corner of existence I like to call, my life. First off my name is Jeffrey Elijah Dube’. I was born in Bellevue, Nebraska on September 9th 1982 in the Ehrling Bergquist hospital. I was adopted by my grandparents on December 10th 1987. The first school I attended was Saint Mary’s Catholic School. I was there from kindergarten till December of my third grade year. After that I was moved to Wake Robin Elementary, where I stayed through 6th grade. I attended Logan Fontenelle Middle School. From there I moved onto Bellevue East High School where I graduated May 27th 2002. I have yet to attend college but I very much would like to someday. I am also still undecided on what “I want to be when I grow up”
I have worked many different type jobs just as everyone else. Food services, warehouse and shipping, computer operations and even armored car security! I had a running shot at the USAF but a past ankle injury halted any further progress there. I still sometimes think what it would have been like to really be in the military fighting for my country and freedom, and the freedoms of others. Thankfully I have found a nice “quiet” job as a NOC operator at CoSentry here in Bellevue. It’s a good job and has much potential for growth and development of my skills for future ventures. The best part of the job is the people I work with. There are only six of us that are working in the NOC but it really feels like a family. Not something a lot of jobs can say.
One of my major interests was and still is the martial arts. I have been practicing the arts since I was five years old. My parents thought that it would be a good thing to help me through the adoption and would also help me focus my mind and body. And if nothing else, the exercise for a small child couldn’t hurt any. I first started Taekwondo at a local health center in Bellevue. I didn’t stay with that style all to long and I moved onto Kung Fu. Taul Moon Kung Fu is the oldest style of Kung Fu originating from Japan. I trained for five years and finally received my black sash and later my second degree from this style. I then wished to gain more knowledge explore more of my interest, I found Ye Lee Chuan Kung Fu. I trained under sifu Star and made my way again to a second degree black belt. Shortly after my test I shattered my right ankle and had to have surgery to repair it. I pretty much lost the motivation and determination to continue my intense martial arts training after that. I someday do want to get back into training like I was before and get back into competition form.
My other big interest currently is World of Warcraft. I have been playing this MMORPG since its beta testing phase. I now have two level 60 characters on the Deteroc server, Mauganra 60 Druid and Gutterball 60 Warlock they are both part of the guild Empire. Come visit us here!
