Vernon H. Hammond III, CFP - transformed into V3 when astride the ST...

I was born and raised in Trenton, NJ, where I met my wife, Wallie. We have two sons, Shawn and Ellington, as well as a beagle, Charlie.  Our current residence is in Plainsboro, NJ .

Unfortunately, I have not been blessed with a trust fund, and to date have not amassed my personal fortune.  Therefore, I depend on my position as Sr. Vice President of the Management Ark to support my family and numerous interests.  The Management Ark, an entertainment management company that was established in 1983 by my partner, Edward Arrendell and me, includes Wynton Marsalis, Kenny Garrett, and Stanley Jordan among its clientele. 

In addition to the Honda ST 1300, some of the other activities that I enjoy are, cycling, playing basketball, skiing, reading books, and listening to music.  I’ve been riding (motorcycle) for approximately four years now and for most of that time have been a member of the NJ Buffalo Soldiers, as fine an assemblage of brothers and sisters as can be found anywhere in the world.  I look forward to many more years of riding with this inspiring organization and implore them, as I do all human beings, to abide by this quote by Horace Mann: “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.”
