Ricci's Story
Life
May 2008
Still working in Marketing at St. Paul Harley-Davidson, going on four years now. Previously at BI in Edina for 7+ years, which was a good place, but I was fortunate to find a great organziation 3 miles from my home in Oakdale. It's a good fit and I'm looking forward to staying here for the long haul.
Have five kids, growing like weeds and keeping us busy. Emily done with college and looking forward to becoming a teacher FT in the fall. Kathryn is in the Air Force, stationed in New Mexico, but moving to join her husband in Mississippi in October. Yes, she got married in January, which makes me sorta old. Truly old will kick in once she starts popping out kids. Stephanie is in her 2nd year at St. Cloud State, and is focused on her English major. She likes to write and is quite good at it.
The boys (Nick and Jon) are both 16 and active in different sports, which is odd but fun. Jon likes football, while Nick enjoys soccer. Jon is also in Track this spring at Tartan.
We're pretty well situated in Oakdale with my wife Judy and three strange cats. Living on the east side took some getting used to, but we like it over here. My Dad is well and livin...Expand for more
g in Minnetonka. He recently met a woman and is engaged. No date yet, but it's very good to see him happy after being married to my Mom for nearly 50 years.
School
High school represented some of the best times of my life. I try hard not to live in the past, but I do miss the close friendships from HS days. BSM was a great school to be part of, though we didn't think it was at the time.
College
Spent four years down at Mankato, which was a good choice for me. Close to home, but not too close. I lucked into some great roommates and friends during my time at MSU, plus a few stories not suitable for publication (I will share over a beer if requested).
Workplace
Currently - Operations Manager, Motorcycle Value Program (MVP), a separate entity owned by St. Paul Harley-Davidson. We run the largest loyalty program among the 650 HD dealers, and franchising MVP across the country.
