They both enjoy outside activities such<br />

as fishing, boating and snowmobiling<br />

and for years made an annual family<br />

trip to visit the <strong>Gull</strong> Lake area, staying<br />

at a number <strong>of</strong> local resorts. Finally,<br />

after nearly twenty years, they were able<br />

to purchase a lot and build a home in<br />

Wilson Bay. Steve has worked in the<br />

medical device industry for nearly 35<br />

years and currently has his own consulting<br />

company. He still works on development<br />

<strong>of</strong> new medical devices and<br />

technology. Kathy works for Ingersoll<br />

Rand/Trane as an executive assistant.<br />

They have three children, Corey, Jon,<br />

and Trisha. . .all grown up.<br />

Steve indicated that his interest in the<br />

GCOLA Board was to find out more<br />

about stewardship <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Gull</strong> <strong>Chain</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Lakes</strong> and protecting this valuable<br />

resource. “The <strong>Gull</strong> <strong>Chain</strong> has provided<br />

many memories for my family and I<br />

want to help to see that this valuable<br />

resource is maintained for years to come<br />

for everyone. The recent finding <strong>of</strong><br />

zebra mussels in <strong>Gull</strong> Lake and preventing<br />

the spread <strong>of</strong> other aquatic invasive<br />

species (AIS) into the chain <strong>of</strong> lakes is<br />

going to present some significant challenges.<br />

But we will continue to strive<br />

for solutions to protect this resource.”<br />
