the Marines for 2 years active duty to more or less get me back here again. After being honorably discharged in '74,I decided to stay
here and enjoy all that is here.
Have adapted all my knowledge to
the very busy Harley-Davidson market after working in the auto industry for 15 years. I've seen

In the spring of '07, headed to Oregon and spent about a year working at a restoration chrome shop, learning the in's and out's of the plating business.
In the spring of '08, I went back south to Southern Cal. I'm still here simi-retired doing what I feel comfortable doing. I do some Harley repair part time and development of new after market parts for H-D'S.........
