German born Cold War US Army brat with the typical nomadic childhood.

For nearly forty years I worked for Volkswagen, Porsche-Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Opel, Fiat, BMW, SAAB, Volvo and Harley-Davidson.

The final seven years of my career as a mechanic (I’m far too old to have ever been a technician) I was lead mechanic for my local Police Department’s motorcycle shop.

I took care of a fleet of 44 FLHTPI police bikes as well as 30 Suzuki dirt bikes.

Because of the wear and tear on my body, in 2011 I was retired on full disability.

Compared to the rest of you guys, my models look like wooden toys and my figures look like lawn ornaments.

I get tired of my profile picture so I change it often.
