This month, we're pleased to shine the spotlight on Rainer W. Schael, President of RS Environmental Consulting, Inc. and a dedicated advocate for conservation and community connection.
Known affectionately as "The Grumpy Old Man of the Board," Rainer brings a wealth of professional experience, a passion for the outdoors, and an interest in connecting people. His commitment to environmental stewardship extends beyond our organization through his involvement with Captains For Clean Water.
When he's not working or volunteering, you might find Rainer and his wife, NoΓ«l Schael, exploring America's national parks in their RV. The couple also shares their home with two beloved pups, Camp and Calusa, who are named after islands in Florida Bay.
A lifelong outdoor enthusiast, Rainer's favorite pastime is fly fishing in Everglades National Park, a place that reflects his deep appreciation for Florida's natural resources.
Within our organization, Rainer enjoys staying connected to all committee efforts, though he has a special place in his heart for Two Nights Under the Stars, which he and NoΓ«l founded and helped lead for more than 17 years.
We're grateful for Rainer's leadership, dedication, and unwavering support. Thank you, Rainer, for helping strengthen our mission and community.
