Joint Chiefs
Joe Clemmer
I am a Marine Corps veteran, career fire captain, father to four crazy kids and loving husband to my wife of 14 years. I love cigars, motorcycles and anything that gives me an adrenaline rush! With all of the craziness in my life, I turn to cigars to relax and unwind. In 20 years of smoking cigars, I have met some incredible people from every walk of life who have helped me along the way. As veterans, we all strive to find that bond and brotherhood that we had in the service. Veterans of The Leaf is that bond and brotherhood who all share in the grind and who are there 24/7 to support and lend a hand in whatever way possible. Semper Fi!
Jason Albuquerque
I am a Marine Corps Veteran, Cybersecurity Professional, Technology Executive and proud Dad & Husband that's living the New England life! I'm also an outdoorsman who thrives on fishing, kayaking and the upgraded camping life in a "Land Yacht". You can find me podcasting as host for Business Security Weekly and you will see me jumping in on the StogieGeeks podcast as well! I smoked my first cigar at 19 years old and over time have jumped in feet first to the Stogie Life! The Veterans of The Leaf is the epitome of excellence, commitment and honor to our brotherhood. Semper Fidelis!
Rick Knight
I am an Army Veteran, husband, father of 4, and dog dad. I enjoy coaching youth sports, running, hiking, flipping houses, and cooking. I am an untapped insider, whisky arbiter of taste, and avid cigar lover. I found Veterans of the Leaf through a friend and was immediately connected to the group through experiences, the love of cigars, and the understanding of the challenges we all face. Veterans of the Leaf is organized & run by veterans, for veterans and patriot supporters. It’s an honor to be a part of this group. Being among those that have shared in good times and challenges, having a brotherhood just a phone call or herf away, makes each day easier knowing we are not truly alone. Hooah! “Never forget those who come with a lamp when we were in darkness”.
Travis French
I am a medically retired US Airforce Veteran. Spent 10 years as an AMMO troop and now am venturing into the world of Psychology. I am a father to a beautiful baby boy, husband to an amazing woman, and a dog dad to 3 amazingly lazy dogs. I enjoy the little things in life, such as riding my Harleys. Smoking cigars and pipes, and helping my fellow veterans in their time of need. Currently working on my Ph.D. in clinical psychology so I can offer my services to all Veterans and others who suffer from mental anguish with no one to talk to. I am here to lend an ear to anyone who needs someone to talk to or to just listen to. Welcome to the club, I hope to see everyone in the herfs.
Walter Jefferson
I am a military supporter, a connoisseur of a variety of alcoholic beverages, and a tech junkie. I work in IT closely with various first responder organizations and I love motorcycles, smoking cigars, and chilling out with friends. This group is great for several reasons brotherhood, friendship, and being there for each other. The ability to talk to different people and learn helpful things you didn’t know. Having a support system that is there for you in the best of times and the worst of times. If this appeals to you, Veterans of the Leaf might be your club.
