I was born and raised on the banks of the Mississippi River in St. Louis Mo. My older brother taught me to ride a motorcycle on our farm when I was 12 years old and have been riding off and on ever since. After a four year tour of the Navy I decided to stay in San Diego—The Weather. After receiving a Journalism degree from City College I spent six years as a California Highway Patrol officer working both northern and southern California. It was during that time that I was introduced to the Buffalo Soldiers history. I was angry that it took so long to receive that knowledge and was determined to learn as much as I could about them. This eventually led me to move to Campo California since that is where the Buffalo Soldiers were last stationed as a full Cavalry Unit. I have since moved back to San Diego but have continued pursuing their history and spreading the word of their deeds.

I never really considered joining a motorcycle club but when Big Kahuna introduced me to the BSMCSD I never looked back. I truly enjoy the socializing and rides with this group and feel honor and pride when I put on my colors.

I am a recent graduate of National University in Business Administration and currently work in municipal Storm Water management.
