| I'm an average guy just like you. I'm 50 years old, work in a paper mill and love life. My beautiful wife of almost 30 years and I raised 4 great kids, Matthew 28, Alyssa 26, Emily 25 and Rachel 22, We currently have 2 Granddaughters also. I've been a water skier all my life. 2 years ago I joined our local ski team, The Wisconisn Rapids Aqua Skiers. Fortunately for me, all they make me do is ride my hydrofoil water ski.
That's all the good stuff..... The bad news is that I was severely burned at work by hot water and wood pulp. Due to the number of people praying for me, the incredible support by family, friends, Verso Papers, UW Health Burn Center, thousands of people that I don't even know and my drive to get back on the water, I made a very speedy recovery. Now I want to give back in some way. |
