Eddie Brunswick
Over twenty years ago, Eddie Brunswick was involved in a car accident, which left him paralyzed from the waist down, and changed his entire life. Eddie’s passion for the outdoors didn’t get destroyed along with the use of his legs. Instead of hosting his own personal pity party, Eddie became a role model for all physically challenged outdoor oriented men, women, and children. Along with his friends he designed and built various devices and aids that now allow him and others in his physical condition to enjoy God’s gracious beauty of the outdoors. Mobile blinds, shooting braces, and boats with wheelchair ramps were built and utilized. Eddie made it his personal mission to contact other physically challenged individuals and encourage them in their pursuit of the outdoor lifestyle.

Eddie is a role model and inspiration to physically challenged and able-bodied outdoors people alike. He leads the fight for bills to get passed in legislation that benefit the physically challenged, and has been awarded a plaque from the Governor of Tennessee for “Outstanding physically challenged individual in the State”.

Whether Eddie wins this award or not, he is truly a winner, and more of a man than most able-bodied men I know. His attitude of “Never say quit”, his determination, and his mental and physical toughness, is greatly complimented by his generous heart and giving nature.
