MIKE `MONEY’ BOWDEN
|
`MONEY’ was born Oct 17, 1956 in Spokane Washington. Due to asthma and double pneumonia he was not expected to live. Like a bubble baby he spent the first nine months of life in an oxygen tent. He grew up spending his first fourteen years living with his roust-about dad. They traveled and lived in every state except Maine, Alaska and Hawaii. But they made up for that by spending time in Canada and Mexico. At sixteen years of age he got his first motorcycle and started seeing the world on his on. He got a job as an auto mechanic and then after three years got into construction where he learned the carpentry trade. That particular company specialized in multi – million dollar homes like remodeling O.J. Simpson Rockingham Estate, an addition to Frank Sinatra’s mansion, and they completely built Nancy Sinatra’s home. |
Trying something different for a change `MONEY’ went to work for the Vilini Boat Company and was sent to Grosseto Italy as a technical technition. He helped in resolving some imperfections in the designing of the Euroviny factory boats. That boat company had exclusive distributor rights to NATO.
In 1983 he started his own construction business building homes and apartment complexes in the Grass Valley area of California. There he met Big Daddy Carl Spotts in 1993.
In 1999 Big Daddy invited him to join their ride to Hollister for Huck’s 50th birthday party. After seeing the BOOZEFIGHTERS’ brotherhood Money just had to become a part of that BFMC family. He has been very active and a successful leader with Chapter 6 every since.

NOTE: Money and a real nice lady named LaRae (aka - `L.B.’) are getting married August 28, 2004. And surprise – surprise here comes the judge! `BIG DADDY’ is going to perform the ceremony, that will consist of about 160 people, to include reading a statement in HAWIIAN. That’s got to be a sight to see.
Have a great life together `MONEY’ and LaRAE.
