Raymond's Story
Left Memorial due to getting sent to Big Brothers. Never did "fit in" much and ended up as President of the Biker Club in Joplin and then got offered the General Manager position at the Buffalo Chip Campground in Sturgis, SD. The Chip is the wildest and most dangerous biker campground in the world and we often had up to 30 thousand bikers on site during the Sturgis Rally. Got to work with many of the bands that I had grown up listening to and was listed as an Associate Producer on over 100 Rock Concerts. I personally did the Star Bodyguard service for all the big name headliners, rode in chartered helicopters, and limos with the bands, and often had the bands hanging in my living room because I had the only a/c at the cam...Expand for more
p back then. I carry a lot of scars from beefs at the Rally but it got me noticed. I rode with the Bandidos M/C for many years but don't ride much anymore. Nowadays, you'll most likely find me up in the Snowy Mountains chasing elk, deer, moose and bear. I love it up there, up over 10,000 feet and covered in snow. I retired at age 51 and have lots of time to spend with my two daughters, Dakota Skye, and Cheyenne Blue Matthews, hunting, traveling, (I even took Cheyenne to Dolphin Camp in Cancun), motocross, (Chey is the 2011 TSDR Motocross Women's Div. Champion) and beachcombing in Florida and Oregon. I have a trophy wife, Sheila, of 25 years and a very good life. You folks who knew me back then probably would never know.
