Philip Riffe
Treasurer
Philip is retired from a career as a software engineer. He moved to Durango eight years ago to join DSBK and live in the mountains -- hiking, skiing, and gardening. He wandered into an aikido class in 1991 and it was love at first sight. He continues to train in aikido
as a martial art and a spiritual practice.
