Greetings tribe! As one of the newer members of the Mountain Wolf Pack, I have not had a chance to meet many of you [yet], though that will soon be remedied!

I purchased my Indian in May 2004. An '01 Scout that, over the last two years, have put nearly 27,000 miles on and will generally ride whenever the roads were dry enough to do so. I have been a licensed motorcycle rider for 20+ years, owning bikes ranging from a Honda V30 Magna, Kawasaki Ninja 600, '90 H-D Heritage Softail Custom and now, my Indian Scout. Riding is not just something that I do, it is a PASSION. Many friends and my family often ask 'why,' and I can only tell them the standard "If I have to explain it...you wouldn't understand!"

For work, I am a Directory Services Engineer. My daily activities include Active Directory™ support, LDAP support for Directory integrations, Microsoft Identity Integration Server™ operations & support, Active Directory™, DNS (primary), Active Directory™ performance data acquisition & analysis, and any other functions that entails supporting all of my company's computing systems throughout the world. I am a 10 year veteran of the U.S. Navy, Submarine Service, and in my spare time, I enjoy writing code, riding my Indian and a host of other activities.

If you have any comments, questions, or would like to add your "BIO" and pictures to the site, please send them to me using the link in the top-right corner of the website (FRIIRA.org Webmaster).

Currently I've spent two years on the IIRA Tribal Council and 3 years as President of the Colorado Springs Chapter of the IRG called the Legend Riders of Colorado Springs.

I was one of the Inaugural members of the IIRA, joining 8 July 2002 when the IIRA was a LLC instead of the current not-for-profit organization it is today. In fact, I was the 6th person in Colorado to join the IIRA, and not long after that, Bob Flaws decided to start a Colorado Chapter. I signed onto the Chapter as its original Vice President, and served in that position until I was voted onto the International Tribal Council by the IIRA membership.

I retired from the U.S. Air Force in 1995, and am currently working as a Team Lead for the FDA's software support helpdesk at Hewlett-Packard in Colorado Springs. I've been riding off and on since I was about 10 years old. I own a 2003 Chief with the paint package from my previous bike, a 2002 Chief which was one of the test-bed bikes for IMC to test and report on the success or failure of fixes of issues reported to IMC by the new owners of the PP100 Chiefs
