In 2007, Bryce suffered a high-level spinal injury, severely damaging his spinal cord, from a shallow water diving accident. While he was rehabilitating, Bryce wondered if he could design and build a boat that would allow individuals with a disability or illness to get out on the water and go fishing.  It was at this point in 2007 that the 'Wish4Fish' dream was born!

Jensen Steel Fabricators likes to give back to the local communities it's part of, where it can. So when Fletcher Construction asked companies involved in Project Basalt to get behind Wish4Fish, we were onboard! Jensen Steel Fabricators, donated $3,500 which will allow 10 children to experience the magic of fishing.

Those involved in the project were also fortunate to have Bryce come out to the construction site, where he spoke about safety, at home and at work. He shared his story will well over 230 people on site.

Wish4Fish is an amazing cause, helping those with physical disabilities or mental unwellness get out on the water and enjoy the freedom and pleasure of our ocean! The benefits for the recipients goes much beyond a day on the water.
