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 />
