Next, I spent a wonderful week at Reel-Women’s Guide School in Idaho
where I learned to row a drift boat. I was most inspired by the skills and personalities of the women who spent their lives on the rivers.

A Former Denver Broncos captain and All-Pro, Karl Mecklenburg rose from being a college walk-on and a 12th round draft pick to a pro career that included six Pro Bowl and three Super Bowl appearances.  Considered the NFL's most versatile player, Karl played all seven defensive front positions.  Bronco coaches wanted him at the point of attack and would move him throughout the game.  There were many games where Mecklenburg played all 7 positions in the course of a single game.  

Since retiring from pro football in 1995, Karl divides his time between family, motivational speaking, and his ongoing charity involvements.  Karl and his wife Kathi have three children.  The Mecklenburgs still live in Littleton Colorado and attend West Bowles Community Church.  In 2001 Karl was inducted into the Denver Broncos Ring of Fame and the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame.  He also serves on the Broncos Alumni Council.    The Mecklenburgs have had a strong commitment to many Colorado charities through the years, which they continue to uphold.
