Meet Our Team

We have been blessed with a very skilled and competent group of 
Executive Officers here at PA 9 that has allowed us to pursue the club's interests with vigor and passion! Our compatible mindsets have facilitated the long strides we have made this year and we hope to continue pushing the envelope and to not rest on our laurels.

President Todd Trivus

Our President has been a Blue Knight since 2012, it's his second term as President of PA IX.  He served with distinction as an Officer in the Pittsburgh PD for over 27 years in various special departments. You'll spot him working on his spectacular 1979 Honda CX 500 Custom which he has been restoring or riding his 2013 Triumph Rocket III Touring! He can always be found at the head of the pack but don't think that means he doesn't have your six!
