Jeff Baker
"Radar"
Vice President
For him, LAMA represents brotherhood, sisterhood, friendship, and giving back to the community. He believes that being a biker is about far more than the machine you ride—it’s about the people you ride beside and the difference you can make along the way.
Jeff’s philosophy is simple: Ride hard. Love your people. Give back when you can. Never stop learning. And when life gives you another day, make damn sure you live it.
