The Business to Business Power Team held their meeting in conjunction with an open house that Pyxis Suites was hosting. The featured speaker was Bill Schuffenhauer, a member of the 2002 US Olympic Blodsled Team tht won a Silver Medal.

Bill told his story of raising himself out of extremely poor and challenging life by surrounding himself with good friends and mentors and having an inner determination to succeed, writing his name in the history books. His story is inspirational, providing hope and encouragement to those who feel the cards of life are stacked against them. Listening to him tell his story there was every reason in the world to blame others for what appeared to be a wasted life, having never been given the basic tools of success. He decided that he was going to accomplish something despite the challenges and lack of opportunity.

Standing at an impressive 6’ at 220 lbs. and with an uncanny desire to win, Bill personified the power it took to become a bobsledder. He joined the National Team in 2000 and realized his dream when he won the silver medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. 

From his own website: "He grew up in the foster care system during his parents’ struggle with drugs and alcohol. Not wanting to face his parents’ environment, Bill used athletics, including break dancing, to avoid drugs and violence. Bill became inspired to become an Olympian when his high school coaches introduced him to track & field. “When my coaches told me about how the Olympics were the highest achievement for an athlete it became my dream. So I decided to never give it up or let anything get in my way, including my past,” said Bill."

 We thank Kathryn Christiansen of Pyxis Suites for the invitation and the opportunity to listen to Bill.
