- My wife and three kids.
- The country I live.
- The company for which I work.
- My health and the health of my family.

....and having found this place and all you wonderful people. My life has been enriched by being here.

- My loving and thougthful wife
- Two great kids
- Parents who raised me right, and who I was fortunate to see again on Thanksgiving Day
- The health to enjoy working on and riding bicycles (and everything else that I do)
- The US Armed Forces who give of themselves (while frequently depriving their own families) so that we can enjoy freedom
- An understanding of what God expects of me, and how He's made it all possible
- Friends
- Bike Forums, where I feel comfortable and go on a daily basis to learn something new or just to smile at what others are discussing
