About Me

"Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile I caught Hell for." -Earl Warren, Chief Justice U.S. Supreme Court. What up. My names Jake Barton, I grew up on Kauai, southern California and San Jose. Now I live in Okinawa, Japan. I recently got out of the Marines and moved back out here. Now I am an Assistant Language Teacher at a junior high school in Yomitan, promote for Parties International, teach business English for ETIO, teach private lessons, and give surf lessons. Somehow I still manage to surf pretty much all the time :) "All I want is a little more then I'll ever get." -Ashleigh Brilliant
