Stephen Tabler
Summary
I am 67 years old and enjoy life. I left my old job at Willis Knighton to become a raft guide for the summer in Tennessee. My wife became ill in my 5th week of training and I had to come home. I had planned to begin work in September, but I decided to go ahead and work now. Am an avid cyclist and have completed 2 Ironman Triathlons.
