Welcome Message

Hello everyone. As the new elected Buckeye Beemer’s President, I would like to thank you for this vote of confidence.

Let me start by telling you a little about myself:

I’ll be married to my wife Ann for 45 years next month so you know I can take direction 😊.

We have 3 successful grown children Gretchen, Kirk and Elizabeth.

I retired from IBM after 32.5 years (May 2, 2009).

I purchased Motohio European Motorbikes in Columbus, July 16, 2008. We sell and service new BMW’s Ducati’s and Triumph’s. You will find Ann, Elizabeth and myself at Motohio most days.

I saw the need to open a 2nd BMW Dealership (BMW Exclusive Standalone) in Southwest Ohio and BMW Motorcycles of Greater Cincinnati will celebrate our 2nd year anniversary June 29, 2021. Kirk is my General Manager and is running this Dealership.

My hobbies consist of all aspects of Motorcycling including racing (Cross Country, Motocross, Flat track, drag racing, etc), old motorcycle and car restoration and running when possible. I, for some reason like to fix and make things better. I’m a lifetime member of the AMA and member of the Greater Cincinnati BMW Motorcycle club.

I’ve been a member of the Buckeye Beemer’s club previously and went to a couple outings like Whispering Pines as an example. For the last 13 years, I think I’ve always attended the year end outing and donated prizes for the drawings. Based on my work schedule and other factors, I’ve not been able to be an active member of the club. Times have changed and feel I have more time now to contribute.

My current focus items for the Club will be:

-        Driving memberships (currently 23)

-        Enhancing the Clubs Support Department

-        Sponsored Events

Details and updates on these items will be posted.

Safe travels.

Mike
