I live in Independence, MO...which is just east of Kansas City, MO. Moved here in 1980 from The Washington D.C. area to go to work for Pullman Trailmobile. Six months after I started they went belly up & closed the Fabrication plant. I've been working in the inventory management field in various positions & market environments (retail, manufacturing, distribution) ever since.

Currently I work as an inventory specialist for Allied Oil & Supply out of Omaha, NE in the local Distribution Center (we distribute Shell, Valvoline, and Allied oil & Goodyear, BFGoodrich, Toyo, Cat & Solideal products to aviation, trucking, and OTR industries).

Since I was in my 20's I've owned a total of 14 Triumphs and all but the most recent (#14 - my 07 America) have been ground-up restorations. Got real tired of wrenching on machines and just wanted to ride...so a bud sold me his America a year after he bought the Bonnie I was restoring.
