I am the: Treasurer

My role with the Giants is to maintain the financial responsibilities of this non-profit organization and all related tasks, including reimbursement of expenses, so if you want a check quickly be nice to me - also, my favorite adult beverage is Tequila, for those who want to get reimbursed very quickly...

Fun fact about me: I purchased my first motorcycle at 19 (a 1985 Honda VFR700 sport bike - great first choice, not) against my parents wishes, who made it very clear that if I bought it I would be sleeping on it in the yard. After paying the seller to ride it to my house for me because I didn’t know how to ride, I parked it in front of the garage and gave the owner a ride home, dreading my return the entire time. When I arrived home, my parents quickly said “well if you really wanted it we think you made the right decision” - my only thought was “what did you do with my parents?”

I love...: The amazing people that I met and the friendships that are created while traveling on motorcycles. My life is infinitely more rich and I am grateful for every new experience.

My role is to: Maintain the official club roster, lead recruitment efforts for new membership, distribute annual membership stickers and welcome letters, and whatever else I can do to help any Giant!

Fun fact about me: Bought my first motorcycle at age 16 without my parents knowledge and I parked the bike on a friend's house for a full year. When they found it, they took it away and sold it, and I did the reasonable and responsible thing to do... bought another one!

I love...: Being in the back country, riding in unfamiliar places and call home any place with an amazing view.

 My name is: Ed Larsen

I am the: Marketing Director

My role is to: Promote the GS Giants brand and image through communications, advertising, and coordination with sponsors. And, whatever else may be required to grow and support this great group of adventure riders.

Fun facts about me: I have been on two wheels under power since I was a kid growing up in Wisconsin. Many, many miles spent crisscrossing the US. In 2018 on the way back from a trip out west I decided I wanted to see Alaska. So, in 2019 I bought a new GS and in July my 15 yr. old daughter and I set off on an epic 10,000 mile trip to the Arctic Circle and back. Since then I have ridden with many other Giants in the US and Mexico,  explored the Idaho and Mid Atlantic BDRs and made two trips to the Copper Canyon.

I love: Travel, challenges, meeting new people and a good cup of coffee
