About Me

Vespa Rich: I was born and raised in Denver Colorado. I have a Degree in Computer Engineering from Colorado State Uiversity in Fort Collins Colorado. I lived in Utah for high school. I had a 94 Mustang GT 5.0L V8 for 6 years, but it finally died and I had to give it up... very difficult. I now live in California and drive my scooter EVERYWHERE! :)
