Hi Y'all,
I guess if you're here, you want to know a bit about me, huh? Not much to tell, actually. I'm just your normal working stiff trying to figure out shit before my time is done. I've been on two wheels since I was about 7 and had my first crash shortly thereafter. I've been riding on the road for about 30 years now (with a few crashes along the way). This webpage has been my "hobby" for awhile now. It's not much, but it's my way to "white trash up" the internet a bit. =)
I've been into "organized" motorcycling in the Metro St. Louis area since 1992... Served as my local ABATE Chapter's President for five years and in a bunch of different positions for another five or so. I'm currently the chapter's newsletter wonk. There's a good bunch of folks in the chapter and I love and appreciate each of them. I'm a Life Member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and joined the local VFW Riders Group about two years ago. I am also an active Patriot Guard member and am excited about being a part of such a good collection of folks working for, and honoring, our vets.
In my "real life", I'm an 8th grade special education teacher in Alton, IL serving kiddos with severe behavior disorders. Always been drawn to the "darker" side of life, so becoming a teacher for kids with behavior disorders after hooking up with Uncle Sam's traveling road show (Army) was a pretty natural transition. I really like my job and am thankful to be able to say that. I guess my work attitude comes from the fact that I kind've know where the kids are coming from and how important it is for them to be able to manage their behavior. In my case, good ol' Uncle Sam gets credit for helping me straighten out. I've been teaching at the same school for almost 13 years now and working with kiddos who have behavior disorders for 17 years. I have been married to my wife, Beverly for 16 years now and while we don't have kids we do have a house full of cats and a python. (And, no, the cats are not the python's food) = )
