Michael's Story
Life
Since High School I worked for 1 year then went into the US Navy. Served 4 years active duty and 20 years in the US Navy Reserves. I spent 20 years as a radioman and the last 4 years of my reserve time as a storekeeper. I retired from the US Naval Reserves in December 1995 and Retired as a Storekeeper First Class (SK1) with 24 years of service.
I was married on my 23rd birthday (4 Feb 1975) and was married to a Korean national until our divorce in October of 1981. I have never remarried and we had no children. My exwife was the first drummer for Vanity Six when Prince formed the group. She practiced with Vanity Six, however, quit before every going on tour.
I served in Vietnam, South Korea (staff duty for 1 year and years in country), while serving in Korea, I had the opportunity to see 32 countries and islands ...Expand for more
within 1 year all over Asia and the Pacific. I was in Lebonon when the Marine barracks was blown up, I served 3 months in Bahrain during Desert Storm.
My hobbies are sports, dancing, and going out to sing karaoke. Occassionally I will even go to a Korean Karaoke club and sing Korean songs.
I took up motorcycling in 2002 when I bought my first motorcycle in my life, a 2001 Honda Shadow 750 A.C.E. (which I put 40,000 miles on before trading it 27 OCT 07 for my current motorcycle...a 2004 Polaris Victory Touring Cruiser). This has been my passion since I started riding. I belong to a number of riding organizations i.e.; American Bikers for Awareness Training and Education (A.B.A.T.E.), American Legion Riders, Patriot Guard Riders, Motorcycle Riders Foundation, and St Croix Valley Riders. I try to ride whenever I can.
