I am a flight nurse and I have been a RN since 1988. In 2001 Yumi (my wife) bought me a 1986 Honda VFR 750 that was in excellent condition. This is the bike I first learned to ride. I no longer have that bike but now own a 2002 954rr and a 1997 custom Harley Softail. I wanted to join a motorcycle club that represented my ideals in life and on the bike. I looked all over the area and the internet until I found EMS Angels MC out of New Jersey. I liked what I saw and read. I called and spoke with Manny Oliveira (the National President) and asked if I could start up a chapter in California. With his support the EMS Angels MC of California was born. I hope to see the chapter grow to greater numbers but still retain the thoughts and philosophy of what it was founded on. I am glad to belong to a club that represents the 99% as well as belonging to a group of compassionate people that save lives in and out of work.

I am currently employed as a part-time Paramedic for Patterson Ambulance, and a full-time Fire/Medic in Modesto . I have been in EMS for the past 10 years working for several different agencies all at the same time. AMR, Hughson Ambulance, San Andreas Ambulance, West Side Ambulance, Turlock Fire, Hughson Fire & Gustine Fire to name a few. I really enjoy the EMS field. It was something that I have always found rewarding. I ride a 2008 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic and love every minute on the bike. I enjoy giving back to the communities we serve and look forward to seeing you on rides for our local, State and national charities.
