Me and my family all ride ATV's, which include my wife Lori and my daughter Jackie. We do most of our riding around the Barnes Wisconsin area.

 

Being raised on a dairy farm in Glenwood City, I am used to working in dirt and mud (which I find funny as that is now where I have fun). I am not farming any more. Now it is a 9 to 5 job on a short day during the summer months painting the yellow and white lines on the highway that we travel every day. Interesting job! oh yes.

 

 

I have not been involved with WATVA all that long. It all started in fall 2006 when I was asked to help with an ATV safety course. That was the end of the beginning. I am now both an instructor and ATV Trail Patrol Ambassador. I am also a fire fighter, so some of that training does carry over into classroom training.
