Just like someone very special and famous, Ohio Pie was born in Bethlehem,,,Nooooooo not that Bethlehem 
,,,the hospital in his home town where he was born, a place that couldn't have been more international. Living in Germany, his parents churnned their own butter, bought cheap coffee in the Netherlands, and even cheaper gasoline in Belgium. Both countries are just a couple of miles from his home, where little OP struggled hard to stay #1 
in the gang of 5 kids, of which 4 are younger than him. His Dad was a police officer - no further comments on this fact regarding OP's nowadays behavior on the HP2 and real life streets 
- and his mom was the one that churnned the butter. 
OP was always quite a fast guy: on roller skates, on bicycles, on mopeds and in cars – tho he couldn't say what he was trying to escape from.
He had a very happy childhood and youth, he says. And he still is in good contact with his kin (unfortunately his father died 11 years ago 
). He sure would have been proud to see OP's darned good looking daughter finishing High School as 3rd best pupil of 70 in her year
something OP wouldn't have dared to dream of in his "active" school time. 
After some wild years living with friends in a cosy wooden lodge in the forests (a time when Mr OP had a different nickname, based on the amount of captured string tangas fluttering at his flag bar by the hut in the mornings)
and saying hello to his co-students at the University from time to time, OP decided to become a decent citizen. He married the girl who still is his wife (no – not one of those string tanga girls) and started a career as editor of a daily newspaper in an area of about 500.000 inhabitants, and where he threatens his employees and forces them to use sub-par computer equipment.
Talking about cars, OP owned a Renault R4, a Peugeot 305, a BMW 2002, a VW Golf (Rabbit), a Ford Sierra, a Suzuki LJ 80, a Mercedes 190 and today a Volvo S 60. After meeting an old friend and his bike a couple of days ago he just started dreaming of buying a Harley-Davidson… in let's say 3 years
Meanwhile he built a 200 square meters house for the family by his own plans (he would have liked to become an architect, but he sucked in math 
) and loves to travel around the world with his 2 girls. Five times they've been to the US – east and west, to Canada, China, Indonesia, the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic, to France and England, Spain and Egypt, Greece and Italy, Jordan and Israel, Portugal and the Canary Islands. In august this year they will fly to South Africa. And since 1998 OP is discovering Europe by mountain bike every spring and autumn.
A couple of years ago OP discovered racing on pc as a great possibility to relax after a long working day. After racing on his own for some months he got into online racing in HP 2 and got to know some of the finest racers in the world – such as EAO #21, who taught him a lot about HP 2. After being promoted Desperado, OP visited #21 in California, having the first International EAO Desperado Convention in history.
With a hearty "Cheers!" from SirPie and the Mrs, "I'm very proud to be a member of this EAO family and having friends all over the world", he says. "And I do hope this friendship and fun will last forever." Amen.
And we wish the same thing to you and your family MrPie, it is an honor to know you and we are very proud to have you as part of the EAOutlaws!!!
