Bjorn's Story

With better than 30 years past since the days of high school (both Desert 72 and Cabrillo 73-76), Friday night football games, marching band, and nights cruzin` up and down Ocean Blvd., much has happened in my life...a look at my timeline will tell you that! I've traveled - Germany, France, Tunisia, Burma, Hong Kong, Jordan, Kuwait, and Iraq to name a few. I've worked -- US Army Officer, government contractor, high tech industries, medical equipment, robotics, and industrial products. I've played -- parachuting, skiing in Switzerland, white water rafting, motorcycling, softball leagues, water skiing, cycling, led church music groups, and more! I've served -- 6 years as a US Army Officer, hurricane relief work in Jamaica, 5 years of art docent volunteering in schools, and two project tours in Baghdad, Iraq. I've lived -- married my college sweetheart, two wonderful daughters, divorced, moved around the country (CA, IN, WA, VA, MD, DC, KS),and re-married to an incredi...Expand for more
ble woman. Have pets -- OMG, its a zoo as my picture will attest! A rescue Beagle named Chance (as in my wife took a "chance" in bringing him home! Or, as she puts it, we were his last "chance".) Two adopted cats - Bogart and Botti (when I die, I want to come back as Botti - cute and without a care in the world!). Two exotic birds -- that's Riley perched atop my heard in the picture. He's a Solomon Island Eclectus and quite the talker!. I my picture album you'll find Shiloh, a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo - now there's a gal with attitude and personality! Currently I'm back in California's Central Valley where I live with my lovely wife (of ten years), Tamara, and working as the Procurement Manager with one of the contruction companies building the country's first High Speed Rail. (My professional profile can be found on LinkedIn.com). Feel free to drop me a line by e-mail and let me know what you're up to or look me up on Facebook...who knows, our paths may cross again!

I suppose I have officially reached old age.  The other day I was filling out some survey related to motorcycles, and when I went to choose age bracket - THERE WASN'T ONE for me!!!
On this Veteran's Day I feel an obligation to share a story that demonstrates the honor with which my Brothers and Sisters in Arms conducted themselves.

In 2004 I was working in Washington DC and had reason to head up to t
Some day, I would like to sit on my porch with the first twelve people who like this status with a glass of Pepsi, sweet tea, coke, coffee, wine whatever. And just talk; talk about life and how far we all have come.  All yo
Well, friends, it is official (and with thanks to a number of folks) - today I picked up my "new to me" ride.  My Vulcan 900 has been officially retired after 93,000 miles of service and replaced by this Vulcan 1700....and
