For this weeks Publication, I was supposed to highlight the Wulfestieg brothers, but being the busy kids they are, they didn't have a chance to get their information in on time, so I decided to highlight my mentor Pete DeQuincy.
I am sure none of you have heard his name before, Pete is the Aquatics Manager for East Bay Parks and Recreation District. Pete actually works in the Fire Department, he doesn't look like a lifeguard at all, but once he is in the water, his skills shine through.
Pete has been a lifeguard and a Red Cross instructor for over 25 years. He lives, breathes, eats, sleeps Red Cross. He is the go - to people for aquatics. I am one of very few, lucky enough to call him my mentor. He is my guide and instructor in this field and a huge inspiration to me.
Besides being a lifeguard, Pete creates standards for the Red Cross and is a constant contributor to their manuals. He also contributes regularly to many aquatic magazines and newsletters.
Did I mention the YouTube Channel? Check out Pete in action, he has his own YouTube channel.
Pete is an amazing lifeguard and an inspiration to anyone in the aquatics field.
