67 year old retired Air Force CMSgt, avid cyclist, proud "Papa," and strong supporter of Veteran charities. After 28 years of service, I felt it was time to give back, so with two cross country bicycle rides for charity, as well as several other shorter rides, I realized this was a passion I could persue and give back to fellow veterans. I have personally raised near $75K over the years for charity, mostly veteran groups. I have raised nearly $20K in past 3 years for the Wounded Airmen and Guardian Program, the organization I continue to support!
