Cool Intro

My road name is "Chief". I've been riding since 1974. I owned an 04 Harley DynaWideGlide (FXDWGI) w/about 70,000 mi on it. I ride w/Run for the Wall from Los Angeles, CA to Washington, DC annually except when I was deployed to Iraq.

I'm retired from the Army, twice, been recalled once.

I'm also retired from the US Postal Service and real estate.

My hobby is, beside riding my Harley, walking/hiking w/my dogs, playing my guitar and learning Spanish.
