Jean Herndon, NREMT-I – Lead Instructor
Jean was a motorcycle rider for many years before taking an extended break to raise her son. She received her endorsement when Maryland first required separate licensing; no written test was involved but a road test was required, in this case, in a December snow “event” in Silver Spring, Maryland. (Note: The examiner returned to the DMV building saying something like, “If you get back here in one piece, you’ll pass.”). Jean got Phil interested in motorcycling when they had an opportunity to check out all of the 2003 models while volunteering with MDA on the H-D Centennial Tour. They liked the Road King best so, one week after her son stopped by their house on a new 2003 Sportster, she convinced Phil they should purchase a 2003 Black and Silver Road King Classic.
Jean has been a First Aid and Medical Emergency Response Team volunteer for over 25 years and an ASHI-Certified First Aid and CPR/AED Instructor for over six years. She volunteered as an ASMI Course Assistant and then certified as an Assistant Instructor. In 2008, she completed the EMT-Intermediate program through North Metro, now Chattahoochee, Technical College and passed her National Boards to advance from an Assistant Instructor to Lead Instructor for ASMI. Jean is licensed to practice in Georgia.
Jean has a bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Education, serving her Senior Internship as an Ensign with the U.S. Public Health Service, CDC, TB Unit Training Department. Her career has spanned a wide range of professions, from Social Worker to Business School Instructor and later, from Data Processing Technical Writer/Editor to Computer Technician. Jean is now retired after 20 years with AT&T in Data Processing Centers, where she met and married Phil.
Phil Herndon – Assistant Instructor
Phil has been riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles since 2003 after completion of the MSF program. He has twice completed the Experienced Rider Course. He, as well as Jean, has been involved in ASMI instruction since 2004 as a Course Assistant and Assistant Instructor. He says he “serves as ‘pack mule’ and technology expert for Jean in our safety-based training center, North Georgia Biker Safety.” Phil is an active member of the Cartersville Georgia HOG Chapter and Cherokee County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). He has been employed full time with AT&T for over 25 years; he is currently an IT Metrics Analyst. The Road King now shares space with Phil’s 2008 Road Glide and Jean’s 2008 Electra Glide Trike.
