Head Road Captain: Joe Welsh

My name is Joe Welsh aka the Iron Chef, my friends call me Joe.  I am retired firefighter/EMT after 26 years of active service.  I now instruct the new generation of firefighters and EMTs.  I am also a SCUBA master diver
and instructor.  I also work as a an safety consultant and fire investigator for a major utility.  As you can see I have a pretty full schedule. I look for ways of burning off stress by putting my knees in the wind whenever I can.   My wife Kim and I purchased our first Harley on 2008.  We now have a 2008 Road King and a 2009 Ultra Classic.

When I was asked to be Head Road Captain I felt honored. As you can see, I have a passion for safety and riding and I want to carry that into my duties as your Head Road Captain. I want to spread the passion for riding to new and future riders and stoke the passion for seasoned veteran riders.  I feel that the head Road Captain is the link between the Activities Officer and the Safety Officer.  I would like riders in our group to share their favorite places to ride.  I want to tailor our rides to meet all our members expectations and to make our rides both enjoyable and safe.  All KYANA HOG road captains and I will do our best to make OUR riding season the best we can.  So it's kickstands up.....  let's get our knees in the wind....and take the roads less travelled.
