I'm retired Navy, retired City of Grand Junction CO Police Department. Married, 5 kids, 16 grandkids. I'm 68 years old, and I'm an avid road cyclist. I rode 2544 miles in 2016, over 3000 miles in 2017, and 4158 miles in 2018. I was back down to about 2500 again in 2019.

My goal for 2020 is 5000 miles. Go big or go home, right? My current ride is a 2017 Kestrel Talon full carbon bike. I'm also about 50 lbs overweight and have diabetes. Type 2 so there's hope.

Cathy and I live in western Colorado in a town called Fruita. Cathy, who has been my wife and best friend for 43 years, taught nursing at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, CO. She retired in January 2019.

One of the main reasons I joined WA was because she wanted to retire too and we wanted to increase our income, or replace her income, after her retirement. She deserves to be retired as much as I do, and there are things we want to do that require a decent income. My retirement is good but we want enough income to cover our bills and other stuff that makes life fun.

Back before retirement I had two careers. I was in the Navy for about 24 years. I climbed the ladder from E-3 to O-4, and spent my last 10 years flying helicopters My Navy career ended in 1990. After that I worked for the city of Grand Junction Police Department, and retired from there in 2013.

Educationally, I have 2 Bachelor's degrees, one in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Oklahoma, and one in Business Administration with a Marketing emphasis from Colorado Mesa University.

I hope you weren't bored silly reading my bio. Good luck to you in all your endeavors.
I'm Grant.
