About Me: I am a few years past 50 years old, married to my wife Denise who is better than I deserve, and I am blessed with two wonderful sons, Jonathan and Taylor. I have moved around most of my life. I was born in Southern California, went to high school in South Georgia, and earned a degree in Accounting from Georgia Southern College (now a University). I continued my moving with jobs in Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, North Carolina, California, and finally Washington. I retired in 2005 and I could not be happier!

My first bike: My early motorcycle days ended before they got started. My dad was all set to buy me my first bike for my 9th birthday. The weekend before the big purchase we went to a motocross race to watch some friends’ race and both of them wound up in the hospital. So my riding days were put on hold until I graduated from high school. With my first summer job paycheck I bought a Yamaha DT400. It was beat up. It had a section of a truck mud grip tire cut to make a rear fender. It was wonderful! Living in South Georgia I could ride for miles in any direction. It helped that my two riding buddies were the sons of the Sheriff and Game Warden!

My Riding Experience: My first few years of riding were in the lowlands of South Georgia; lots of sand, water, and swamp land. Since then I have ridden in Louisiana, Texas, Northern and Southern California, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, and Washington. Seems like I would be a better rider by now but…

My Favorite Quote: “You too are only one ‘I quit’ from retirement” No one knows what tomorrow will bring, so I chose more time with the family over making more money!

Why I became Web Master: I became Web Master by going to the restroom at the wrong time during a club meeting. However I don’t mind. As a past president of CFMC I know what a great group of people are in our club and I know that I will have all the support I need to get the job done.

I’d also like to say: Please don’t be one of those people that stay in the background and count on others to make sure future generations have riding opportunities. Get involved! I get a ton of satisfaction by joining trail work parties, by serving as the Treasurer for the NMA, and by being part of a one of the best motorcycle clubs in the state.

If you like riding, camping, and hanging out with friends you may in fact have what it takes! You have to also be willing to give a little back to the sport, via work parties and sharing riding tips with newer riders. If this sounds like you, we here at CFMC are always looking to expand our circle of friends via new members! Click here to send us an email. We will be happy to share more information about the club and review with you what is required to become a member of the Cascade Family Motorcycle Club,  Or  Click Here to download and view a CFMC Membership Packet
