Kevin and Robin Sedlak, Couple of the Year 2011-2012

Greetings from Northeast Region B Couple of the Year, We are Kevin and Robin Sedlak. Kevin says he saw fireworks when he first met Robin. It helped that it was the 4th of July in 2000 and, we were married on Memorial Day weekend in 2001. Kevin has two children from a previous marriage. William is serving in the Army National Guard and recently returned from a tour of duty in Bagdad Iraq and Haiti. Andrew recently completed his Culinary Arts certification from the US Department of Labor Job Corps program. Kevin is retired from Federal Law Enforcement and from the United States Armed Services. He is currently the Installation Safety Officer at Joint Base-McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst New Jersey. Kevin holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Disaster/Emergency Response and Terrorism. Robin is the vocal music teacher at Pinelands Regional High School in Little Egg Harbor, NJ. She has directed several adult and high school choirs and is also a member of a local church and community choir. Robin holds a Bachelor’s degree from Westminster Choir College and a Master Degree from Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore MD, in Voice Performance as well as a second Master Degree in Educational Administration from Drexel University in Pennsylvania.

Kevin’s motorcycle history started before he met Robin. He owned a Kawasaki 440 LTD when he lived in Los Angeles. He had an accident with that ride and didn’t get on a cycle again until 2008. On a trip to visit Kevin’s family in Michigan, they met a group of Goldwing Riders at a gas station and talked to them about how fun it was to travel on a Goldwing. That was in 2003. Finally in 2008 when gas prices first hit $3.00 a gallon, the decision to get a Goldwing became an easy one. Commuting by car was more expensive than by motorcycle. At a local mall show sponsored by Chapter E-NJ we made arrangements to purchase our current ride, a 1987 1200 Interstate. In addition, we became members of our GWRRA home Chapter A- NJ (The “A” Team).

Since becoming members of GWRRA in August 2008 we have gotten fully involved. We have participated as Chapter Newsletter Editor, Chapter Educator, Chapter Membership Enhancement, Couple of the Year, and Assistant Chapter Director. In 2010 we were selected as New Jersey District Couple and are now honored to hold the position of Region B Couple of the Year.

As members of GWRRA we have met so many amazing people and shared in many once in a lifetime experiences. We look forward to meeting you in our travels as your Region B Couple of the Year, Be sure you say hello when you see us. Ride Safe and be sure to support your Chapter, District and Region events. Remember, you can’t have fun unless you participate.
