Volunteer Spotlight
Doug Swoboda, otherwise known as Bodie (pronounced bow-dee), hails from our neighboring state of Maryland. A few years after high school, he accompanied his childhood friend, Danny, to Central Pennsylvania for a timbering job. Although his timbering days ended after a few years he remained in the area and accepted a job at Corvette America when the business was just getting started and remained there for 38 years until his retirement. Doug's hobbies include woodworking, fine dining and riding his Harley with his wife, Margie. About 5 years ago, Doug saw a convoy of speeders and decided this might be his new ride.
After purchasing a Fairmont MT-14 he realized some guidance was necessary. Fortunately for BHRS, he connected with members Barry Wunz and George Baney who not only helped him with his speeder but also managed to capture his interest in our organization. Since joining, Doug has become a vital member. In addition to serving on the Board of Directors, he has spent countless hours refurbishing and maintaining our RDCs, designing and building various pieces of equipment used during BHRS events and tirelessly sourcing the best materials at the best price for any project that comes our way. Doug and Margie have 2 adult children who live nearby. Daughter Abbie and her husband have 3 young children for Doug to spoil. Son Doug Jr. remains an available bachelor. Thanks Doug for all your efforts. We look forward to many more years of your hard work and pleasant companionship.
