Walter Crovo

Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay area and Santa Clara Valley areas of California. I graduated from High School in 1970. I enlisted in the United States Army National Guard while still in high school. At 17 years old the army found that my strong suite was Infantry (11B). After three years of service and while recovering from a serious motorcycle accident I married and had three wonderful children. I ran two successful family businesses in Salt Lake City Utah for many years. One of my greatest rewards in life was the time spent with the Muscular Dystrophy Association and Primary Children’s Hospital through our association with Harley Davidson. I enjoyed Alpine skiing, SCUBA, long camping trips with the kids, and riding my Harley Davidson all over the United States and Canada.

Robert Zelaya

My name is Robert Zelaya and my riding experience includes dirt bike, track, and a lot of street riding.  I have enjoyed riding for over 25 years; Starting in California, then Nevada, Arizona and now Utah. I’ve been with Utah Tech MSF program for nearly four years, and I’ve had the pleasure of sharing my passion for riding with many students of varying abilities – from brand new, to experienced riders. Working with Utah Tech has allowed me to not only share my experience on the road, but to do it with the well structured MSF program, to help those that are interested in learning the basics in motorcycle riding, to build a solid foundation for them to continue building on in the future. I’m a firm believer in continuing education, but most of all, starting with a solid springboard to any new skill ensuring success.
