King Gambrinus XVIII and Queen of the Krewe 2007

Gambrinus King and his Queen!

The King: Jim Huddleston - Jim's wife Cindy got her big wish on her birthday and King's Day - Jim found the baby!

  Galveston, TX.......   (
Galveston/ Houston Bureau )Jim joined the Krewe of Gambrinus 13 years ago and has been a float captain for 10 of those years. The Krewe has provided Jim and his wife -- Cindy -- a great opportunity to meet and mix with like-minded partygoers and develop close friendships along the way. The Krewe is really a full year association. The friendships are really the best part of being part of Gambrinus!

Jim and Cindy have enjoyed living on Galveston's West end for 13 years. They strategically placed their three children and their families in Seattle, Denver, and Houston for great R&R visits to go play.

Jim has been involved in many civic activities, such as member of the Galveston Economic Development Partnership, president of the Lafitte's Cove Property Owners Association, president of the Lafitte's Cove Nature Society, and board member of the Pirates Property Owners Association. Jim is a graduate of the Colorado School of Mines as a metallurgical engineer. He has been in an entrepreneurial mode most of his career, starting & selling two successful materials technology companies in the Houston area. He has new businesses in Montreal and Houston and two partner companies in China.

Jim spends his free, fun time -- a rare commodity -- with Krewe activities (partying, etc!), snow boarding, bike riding, fishing and hiking.

As king, Jim plans to stay focused on the Krewe's mantra: Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler!
