New Owner of Yama Martial Arts
Celebrate the Return of Jake Nunneley to Scotts Valley! Red Ribbon Grand-Opening Ceremony on June 15
T
hirty years ago, the Nunneley family relocated from the Bay Area, seeking a tranquil environment to raise their two young sons Scotts Valley was the ideal location and they purchased a new home on Bethany Drive, just steps away from Vine Hill Elementary. Their backdoor neighbors were expecting their second son, Elliot Stone, and he shared Jake’s 4th birthday in August. It took no time for all the boys to become best friends and two boards went missing from the back fence so the boys and dogs could roam freely between the homes. As Jake entered middle school, he was introduced to Martial Arts by his parents, who felt he needed to develop more selfconfidence and discipline. Middle school can be rough and he was facing issues
Jake Nunneley and his Family
with bullying. The Martial Arts training became a life-changing event. His parents saw immediate improvement in both his attitude and academic performance. No longer was he the target of bullies who prey on those they perceived to be weak. His instructors taught the values of respect, a healthy body, and an active mind. These values translated directly into improved home and academic life. Jake encouraged his younger friend Elliot to train with him and became his mentor. Fast forward a few years and they are both Black Belt instructors training a generation of Scotts Valley boys and girls. Jake’s ambition was to have his own Martial Arts school and he moved to Sacramento to train under the famous Dave Kovar. The Kovars are well known in the industry for being pioneers in the development of modern MA schools. Jake was rapidly promoted to 3rd Degree Black Belt and took over management of their Folsom school. There, he met his wife to be, and returned to Scotts Valley to be married in San Augustin church. Elliot, having just turned 18, was in the process of opening his own school, Elite Martial Arts. With Jake’s Kovar experience under his belt, Elliot invited Jake to join him and together they built Elite MA into a thriving business. Jake returned to the Sacramento area to be near to his wife’s family and created Innovative Martial Arts.

Recently, Elliot desired to move on to a new phase in life. But he wanted to make sure that his hard work and dedication would not be lost. He wanted to leave the school in the best hands. Jake’s deep roots in Scotts Valley and expertise in Martial Arts made this an opportunity to good to pass up and Jake assumed ownership and operation of Yama this April. Jake Nunneley is a consummate Martial Artist, and loving Father of two young sons, now the same age as when Jake first moved to Scotts Valley. Jake holds multiple Black Belts in Kempo Karate, Kuk Sul, Tae Kwan Do, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He is currently working towards his first
degree in Judo and has trained in Escrima. Jake is one of the friendliest people you could know but you do not want to pick a fight with him! Join the Community and Scotts Valley Chamber on Thursday June 15 from 5:308:30pm. There will be demonstrations and refreshments served. Please join the Chamber in welcoming Jake back to the Scotts Valley Community.

New Member Spotlight: Community Real Estate
A Family-Owned Residential Real Estate Brokerage Serving the Scotts Valley Community
O
wners Matt, Mandy, Sue and Kelsey Draper are long-time Scotts Valley residents and admired local real estate professionals. Sue began her career in real estate at the young age of 16 — working for her father’s development company. Her father, Ben developed multiple neighborhoods in the area including the first phase of Scotts Valley Heights. As Sue’s career began to take off she made the (then considered crazy) decision to specialize in Scotts Valley. Her gamble paid off and she has been a top-producing realtor in the area for over 40 years. She
Mandy, Sue & Matt Draper
would later join forces with her late husband, Lee, who also became a top producing realtor. The dynamic duo enjoyed decades of success as a husband-wife team until his death in 2009. Lee and Sue’s children: Matt and Kelsey have followed in their parents’ footsteps and represent the 3rd generation of Scotts Valley Realtors. Kelsey received her broker’s license in 2005 and is the acting office manager. With nearly 15 years of local experience, Matt is a successful listing agent specializing in investment properties and finance. Recently Matt’s wife, Mandy gave up her career in construction management/engineering to join the team. Mandy is our lead Buyer’s agent and is also in charge of marketing and transaction coordination. The Drapers are deeply committed to the local community, making Community Real Estate the natural choice for the name of their brokerage. In 2012 they launched Bee Fruitful Farms – Scotts Valley’s Educational Farm – to ensure that children of all ages have the opportunity to connect with the natural world. The team volunteers their time to host field trips for the local schools free of charge. The eco-based curriculum includes plant science, ecology, gardening, nutrition, and sustainability. The Draper’s philosophy is simple – “We must give children the chance to fall in love with nature because you protect what you love.” The 4th generation of Drapers: Kadelynn, Jamison, Danica and Caroline attend the local schools and play at the
local ball fields. To support our children Community Real Estate donates a portion of every commission earned to the local schools to help teachers pay for classroom supplies. They also sponsor athletic teams so that our children are supported as they pursue healthy activities. In the spirit of maintaining the strong sense of community that Scotts Valley is known for, Community Real Estate recently launched its first in a series of “Block Parties.” On April 21, 2017 they partnered with their neighbors:
Steel Bonnet Brewery and Los Gallos Taqueria to host a Friday Happy Hour. Over 300 members of the community attended. They were treated to an afternoon of live music, games, a photo booth, free tacos and a complimentary beer! Like Community Real Estate on Facebook to stay informed about upcoming events. Community Real Estate is located in Scotts Valley Junction across from the Scotts Valley Market. You can learn more about The Draper Family, their business and their farm by visiting their website: communityrealestate.biz.
