What years were you at camp?
I was born in 1972, the summer after the dining hall burned down (1971) and then spent the next 14 summers until 1986.  I’m now a member of the Board of Directors. 

What tents were you in?
At first I stayed in the directors cabin but spent one week a summer in a tent.  I was in Cherokee, Sioux, Boot Hill, Antietam and Shiloh. 

Odd as it may sound I was very homesick when I first went into a tent.  My counselors John Enrietto and Rob Hoffman had to invest a lot of time working with me to overcome the problem.  Normally they would have escalated the problem to my Dad but that would have worked right in with what I wanted so they had to deal with me directly.  I’m sure that they invested a lot of time on me and I’d like to say thanks!

What job did you have as staff members?
I was never a counselor but I worked in the kitchen with my Mom and then was on the maintenance crew mowing and cutting down trees.  From June to December 2006 I was the interim director.

What are you doing now?
I own a business called Action Coaching.  We work with business owners to do three things – increase profits, decrease the hours worked, and help build strong teams.  It is typical to see my clients go from losing $7,000 to earning $20,000 per month.  Currently I have about 100 clients. 

Is there anyone from camp to which you'd like to say hello?
Hi to Big Bird, Karen Barkstall, and John Enrietto.
