The Story That Counts – From AF Group

Terry Begnoche’s love for swimming started at a very young age when his mom enrolled him in lessons at the nearby community pool. Through his adolescence and into his teenage years, he became a certified lifeguard, swam on a winning high school team, adventured through local waters with his snorkeling gear and, eventually, earned his scuba diving certification – leading him to participate in scuba clubs such as the Great Lakes Aquanauts.

Terry’s fondness of water and nature led him to a career in environmental safety, where he served in various roles, including environmental scientist, environmental compliance manager, and manager of environmental services, before landing at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society’s Shipwreck Museum and Light Station at Whitefish Point in Michigan’s beautiful upper peninsula. As site manager, Terry oversaw operations and assisted with research, discovery, preservation and presentation of shipwreck and light station history.
