More recently Scott completed the Idaho Star Instructor Training when the South Dakota Safety Council transitioned to the new curriculum in 2016. Scott continues to instruct for the South Dakota Safety Council as well as the Harley-Davidson Riding Academy. 

Chase is a recent college graduate with a degree in History and Political Science with a focus on Japenese and East Asian Studies. Chase has been riding for 8 years and started teaching the state course in 2017 and became a Riding Academy Instructor in 2018. He rides a 2002 Triumph Bonneville America and loves to ride on country roads during the cool hours of the morning and evening. 

I have been riding for 40 years. Certified as a State Instructor and Harley Riding Coach in 2016. I have owned several different Harley-Davidson models and currently ride a military-themed Softail Slim.

I have been a Motorcycle Safety Foundation instructor since 2005, so I’ve been working for the SDSC (South Dakota Safety Council) almost 18 years. In 2022 I was invited to participate in the Rider Academy as an instructor and I accepted. 

I have been riding motorcycles since I was 15 years old, my dad was a biker, my grandfather rode a Harley from one of his friends in the 1940’s. So riding is in my blood.

I love to ride and love to teach, I currently own 3 motorcycles.
