Was born in Fayetteville Arkansas in 1978. I grew up on a large farm with plenty of equipment. Needless to say I learned to turn a wrench very early. When I was not working on fixing trucks, fences, and tractors at home I was working on fixing tractors, trailers, lifting equipment along with cement mixers, chainsaws, nail guns, and other walk behind or hand-held power equipment at my father's equipment rental business.
Graduated from Fayetteville High School in 1997, was to retless to stay in the same town doing the same stuff for god knows how many years so I joined the US Coast Guard in 1998. Was sent to Long Beach California imediatly after boot camp in Cape May New Jersey. I currently still work for the US Coast Guard in Alameda CA, with over 11 yrs active duty under my belt, and am looking forward to retirement in nine more years.
When not doing search and rescue in the CG, I'm an engineer. My talent was obviously working on engines and other mechanical devices. Needless to say I was born to fix things.
I am married to Valerie Hastings-Parker, and happily for 10 yrs, this winter. We have a 9 year-old son named Jordan. We all enjoy each other so very much and I love them from the bottom of my heart. I will give my life for them.
I have an 2002 Titanium Warrior. I honestly believe that the Yamaha Warrior is the coolest bike ever. I enjoy working and customizing my warrior as much as time will allow. The happiness that this motorcycle has brought me to date cannot be rewarded enough. My warrior has helped me get through some hard times as well. Always lending a handle bar to cry on.
RSWarrior has got to be one of if not the best motorcycle forum in the net today. I am proud to be a member and I look forward to helping and sharing with all of you.
