Although the distant memory still pains me to this day, my father (who was also my best friend), passed away at 42, due to the effects of alcohol addiction. This would leave me, the youngest of three to fend for myself, and would forever alter my course in history. It was in that same year, that a family friend (Bill) and his wife, took me under their wings to raise me as though I were their own. You see, Bill was, and still is a successful business owner in our community. He took the time, patience and energy to teach me the ins and outs of entrepreneurship. He gave me this amazing gift by allowing me to work hard, and to feel as though I were part of his life and success.
For the past 27 years I’ve been working with him making families and people from every walk of life happy by continually improving upon all the amenities that makes this place so special; working on the lakefront facilities to ensure renters, boaters, and tubers alike have a fun and safe experience, repairing, renovating and keeping the property immaculately clean, providing exciting stress challenge activities for local organizations and camps, creating new and enjoyable rental adventures for our entire family of customers (Etc etc etc). I consider this man my adopted father. He taught me many things in life; he taught me hard work and perseverance would eventually pay off, he taught me if you strive after something with all your might ...it CAN be obtained.
He is now presenting me the opportunity to obtain something I HAVE ALWAYS dreamed about; the opportunity to buy into, and own a huge portion of this amazing business. The very business I have spent over 2/3 of my life working at and helping grow. A business of which I have seen the ups and downs, the ins and outs, and everything in between. I have laughed here, I have loved here, I have lived here. And now, I am raising my family here. I want to teach my sons the value of hard work and determination in the same manner I have been taught. I want them to grow and learn that if you want something, and you work hard at it, it can be achieved. I want our employees to feel a part of the business the same way I do, so that we can teach other amazing people to succeed.
The Nitty Gritty Of It All: The money raised will go towards the initial buy-in. This is a massive stepping stone and uplighting launch toward our final goal of ownership, and we thank you in advance SOOOOOO much for your loving Support and generosity!
