HOWB 111 – Interview | Pete Bergstrom; Mentoring Church Youth with Wooden Boat Build - 11.07.13

This episode is an interview with Pete Bergstrom of Monticello, IL. Pete emailed me a few months ago saying he enjoyed the podcast, and also that he was doing a mentoring program at his Church by building a wooden boat together with the youth. And he said he would be glad to do a podcast interview if I were interested in that topic.

Well, I jumped all over that opportunity and Pete and I had a great time discussing his personal history as well as the 3 year boat build at his Church where 8 plus kids learning amazing skills such a discipline, teamwork, patience, and woodworking.

As a youth Pete learned to sail a Town Class sailboat and raced with a friend of his in the Boston area. Pete joined the army and became a helicopter pilot at Fort Lewis, WA, got married, left the Army, and entered the working world of the remote controlled model industry of which he had been a hobbyist since he was 12 years old.
